布魯薩：第二號交響曲，管絃樂第四集/魯斯提歐尼

BRUSA, E.: Orchestral Works, Vol. 4 - Symphony No. 2 / Simply Largo (Ulster Orchestra, Rustioni)

Symphonic thought is at the heart of Elisabetta Brusa’s oeuvre, whether in larger forms or solo instrumental works. As with the composer’s Symphony No. 1 (8.573437), the Symphony No. 2 follows a Classical four-movement form with harmonies that are essentially tonal and richly coloured. Emotions are vivid and the rhythms are punchy and passionate whether in fanfare figures or in the beautiful solemnity of the slow movement. Simply Largo is a short ‘song without words’ with a seamless melodic clarity that reflects Brusa’s power to summon up great expressive depth.
