Wellesz, E.

Description:

This is Tedesco's tour de force of Shakespeare's profound stories in sound! After being surprised by the rich expressiveness and dramatic orchestration of the first collection (8572500), this is Tedesco's second collection of Shakespeare's overtures. This time, too, the rush of sound is so great that you can feel the vastness of the world painfully even without reading the text. The sound of horns echoing through the forest, the unison of low strings reminiscent of a villainous merchant, and the endless imagination.
