Italian composers take their moment in the spotlight this afternoon. Familiar works by Rossini and Chopin (whose Barcarolle derives from the traditional genre of gondolier songs) stand side-by-side with far more obscure gems by Ferrandini and Scelsi.
Banchieri | Three Madrigals
Chopin | Barcarolle Op. 60 for solo piano
Scelsi | Okanagon, for harp, double bass, and percussion
Ferrandini | Il Pianto di Maria, for voice, strings, and continuo
Verracini | Sonata for recorder and continuo
Berio | Opus Zoo, for wind quintet and narrators
Rossini | Overture to Il Barbiere di Siviglia
