| | Curio Corner: If only they had scored for films:- Victor DE SABATA (1892-1967): Film Music on the Web CD Reviews April ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | In that capacity, he has left a significant legacy of recordings of late Romantic and Impressionist music, notably recordings of works by Debussy and Respighi; and probably the best-ever recording of Puccini's Tosca with Callas, di Stefano and Gobbi (reissued this month by EMI, at mid-price in their 'Great Recordings of the Century' series). |
 | | This is descriptive, impressionistic music, predominantly serene and contemplative, the music fragrant colourful and evocative of moonlit fountains, flowers and birdsong. |
 | | In this composition, De Sabata sets confident thrusting music against passages of restraint to suggest the joy and passion of youth as opposed to the hesitant, inhibition and disillusionment of increasing years. |
