"This disc marks the conclusion of Naxos� Casella series, and it has been a wonderful journey. As with the other discs, the performances are excellent. Sun Hee You does a wonderful job in the Partita, offering effortless virtuosity and an aptly light touch�conductor Franceso La Vecchia proves himself more imaginative an accompanist�and he also has the better orchestra and engineering. Casella truly was a great composer. The evidence on this disc is incontestable." --ClassicsToday.com, November 2012
Orchestra Sinfonica di Roma, Francesco La Vecchia
This latest disc in the Naxos series of Casella�s orchestral music represents what Casella felt was his �definitive personality�. The Introduction, Aria and Toccata epitomises his �monumental Baroque style� of the late 1920s and early 1930s. A few years earlier, his neoclassical Partita for piano and small orchestra had been a huge hit, with Casella himself touring right across Europe and the USA playing the solo part. In between, he at last � in his late forties � composed his first opera, La donna serpente: the orchestral fragments recorded here colourfully reflect the story�s tragicomic twists and turns.
