Castelnuovo-Tedesco/ Palazzi/ Scolastra - Venite a Intender - Music on D

The compositions contained in this release allow us to become familiar with the most significant and compelling chamber music scores composed on texts by Dante between the 19th and the 20th centuries. The primary literary source is the Divine Comedy, especially the Inferno with it's characters whose worldly events were horribly and romantically overwhelming. The other work whose verses have been put to music is Vita nova, a middle way between poetry and prose, that is the emotional obsession of an adolescent for the stylized figure of a woman his own age.
