The unconventional structure of Gian Francesco Malipiero's music takes us on a journey through unexpected, sometimes incredibly beautiful vistas. The 'Sixth Symphony' is a rich and songful celebration of string sonorities and moods, while the heroic 'Ritrovari' and evocative 'Serenata mattutina' display Malipiero's expertise in writing for unusual chamber ensembles. The 'Cinque studi', heard here in their premiere recording, demonstrate an astonishing range of contrasting moods - a kaleidoscopic sonic tour with no more than a small orchestra, which juxtaposes orchestral strings with a wind group of a single flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon and two horns, and a percussion group of cymbal, bass drum, tambourine, celesta and piano.
