Never have I really believed in inspiration by the beauty of nature; I
was put right by the ruins of Rome. There my ideas just flew to me.
(Richard Strauss) ""Aus Italien"" was the first major symphonic poem
mirroring diverse moods to be composed by Richard Strauss and that was
to be followed by later masterpieces such as Don Juan, Tod und
Verklarung, Ein Heldenleben or Eine Alpensinfonie. The Venetian Suite
was written in 1935 by then almost 60-year-old Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari. It
is the music of an opera composer, accustomed to illustrating events
with his music, and yet in his concert works handing over many things to
the imagination of the listeners, not wanting to give all the answers
in advance. Ariane Matiakh is a promising conductor leading the
Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin on this recording. The ensemble with
Matiakh at the helm has been featured in several other Capriccio
productions that have been acclaimed by the press.
