Bella musica, tutta italiana, ha una sua peculiare identità e originalità. Molto particolare e singolare. Si ascolta con piacere, perché è una continua sorpresa. L'aspetto tragico e drammatico delle tre sinfonie qui è ancora lontano. Bravo Maestro Casella.

If you have never heard this work play from 14.00 minutes in, the famous tune is really given the treatment_glorious noise!.

LOVE IT! Listening to Casella's works never cease to amaze me, not only for his genius but also for how he's been neglected for so many years. Amazing, yet sad. Thanks WelleszCompany for posting this!

Grande musica di un grande musicista per qualche tempo dimenticato.

Un ottima composizione di un musicista ancora oggi dimenticato.
Eccellente l'esecuzione e la registrazione.
Un grazie a Wellesz per questo ottimo caricamento.

Wasn't Richard Strauss sued by the composer for plagiarism for using that song in his work "Aus Italien"? Just asking...

[@FedericoPala]

yes, but the song composer (Luigi Denza) allowed the use of the theme for this piece

[@MikeDial]

So, that's where "Funiculi, funicula" came from.

[@giuliaanichini7667]

No, that's actually a reference to the song. The actual song was written in 1880 by two Neapolitan composers.
