It was first performed in Rome in 1930, and received a glowing critical reception for its clarity, expressiveness, powerful structure, and the composer's signature elements of effervescent songfulness and fullness of episodes.\n\nAlfano's last chamber work, the Piano Quintet in A-flat major, was composed in 1945. Here, too, there is a desire to return to stylistic ideas of the past, as if to idealize them.It seems like an unreasonable desire for someone who was in Italy during the war, and the mournful chords seem to express such sentiments.\n\nThe booklet (12 pages in English and Italian) includes commentary by Marcello Miramonti and Enrico Graziani, who performed the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51600976511265,"sku":"5028421973104","price":128.0,"currency_code":"MOP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5028421973104.jpg?v=1755334476","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mo\/products\/5028421973104","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
