Description:

Madonna Maderna, the mad conductor, acclaimed by Mr. Toshihide Katayama! The great Ravel of a lifetime, where precision and explosion coexist! Bruno Maderna (1920-1973) is a renowned composer, but he also studied conducting under Scherchen and has conducted and recorded with orchestras around the world, including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston Symphony, LSO, BBC Symphony, and Concertgebouw. He has conducted and recorded with orchestras all over the world. The Hours of Spain" is a slapstick story about a watchmaker, Torquemada, his wife, Concepcion, her lover, and the customers of a watchmaker's shop, but Ravel's music is beautiful and not a mere comedy. The music is beautifully orchestrated with sounds reminiscent of the mechanical sounds of a clock, and Maderna's conducting skillfully brings out all the elements. King International
