Sgambati/ Orchestra Sinfonica Di Roma/ Vecchia - Symphony No 1: Overture Cola Di Rienzo

Sgambati was one of the most important figures in the renaissance of Italian music that began during the second half of the 19th century. This first of two discs blends Italian lyricism with German rigour. Symphony No. 1 was admired by Grieg and Saint-Saëns and a favourite of Toscanini.
