This suggestion is addressed to lovers of late romantic music:  Marco Polo
(8.225058) has recently issued a CD containing three orchestral works by
Ildebrando Pizzetti.  The "Robert Schumann Philharmonie" is conducted by
Oleg Caetani.

1.  Canti della stagione alta - D`Annunzio`s style title for a piano
and orchestra concerto.  A work with a neo-impressionist character and
references to popular music.  In some passages the orchestration reminds
Rachmaninof.  The pianist is Susanna Stefani.

2.  Fedra, preludio for D`Annunzio`s tragedy.

3.  Sinfonia del Fuoco, cantata for bariton, choir and orchestra, to be
executed during the projection of the movie "Cabiria"(1914).  The baryton
is Boris Statsenko, and the choir the Stadtischer Opernchoir.
