Franco Alfano

I know the piece, an absolute masterpiece!

It seems rich in ideas to me, also elegant... a good piece... pleasant!

Thank you for the report, I didn't know it.

I like it, initially it has something Russian (like Shostakovich?) ... but then it changes ....

Until now, I have held Franco Alfano in low regard, having listened to some of his works a while ago that didn't seem like much to me.

This "concerto," however, seems to me to be one of the most beautiful chamber pieces I know from the entire first half of the 1900s.

Superficially, Ravel's influence comes to mind, but I believe that the language (especially the harmonic one) is even more modern.

What do you think?

What a pleasure to find someone with whom to share the beauty of this work.

Yes, it is a masterpiece.

The "masterpiece of the entire first half of the twentieth century" (even if I detest rankings) is, in my opinion, another one. And not by Alfano.

Franco Alfano is a catalogue missing from my site and for some time I have been thinking about adding it.

I have just finished Ildebrando Pizzetti and I have set Telemann as a task for the holidays.

Once the monstrous work of Telemann (over 4,000 catalogue numbers) is finished, I promise Alfano.

Everything in its own time has its time.

I wonder why but . . . I imagined it

Just like that!
