Wolf-Ferrari: Il Segreto Di Susanna

Petrenko and the RLPO team up for a delightful romp through the compositions of the lesser-known maestro, Wolf-Ferrari, on their latest release SusannaSin. The album kicks off with "Susanna's Aria," a jaunty number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Petrenko's conducting shines on this track, bringing out the lighthearted energy that Wolf-Ferrari is known for. Tracks like "Intermezzo" and "Scena e Canto Religioso" showcase the versatility of both the RLPO and the composer, with sweeping melodies and intricate arrangements that keep listeners on their toes. Petrenko's attention to detail is evident throughout, making each note sing with clarity and purpose. But it's not all fun and games on SusannaSin - tracks like "Cantico" and "Messa da Requiem" take a darker turn, with haunting melodies and chilling harmonies that will send shivers down your spine. Overall, Petrenko and the RLPO have delivered a standout performance on SusannaSin, bringing Wolf-Ferrari's music to life in a way that is fresh, exciting, and undeniably fun. Whether you're a die-hard classical music fan or just looking for something new to add to your rotation, this album is definitely worth a listen.
