5.0 out of 5 stars Aubade: short but wonderfully romantic orchestral piece., April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Images Before Dawn (Audio CD)

Franzetti's Aubade (on this CD) is a particularly beautiful, haunting symphonic work. Very romantic central theme is developed slowly. Captivating, unique work - you cannot forget it. Once heard, you will want to buy it, if you can find the CD (released 1998 but scarce).

5.0 out of 5 stars master of form and style, March 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Images Before Dawn (Audio CD)

Carlos Franzetti is a master of compositional form and style, and this CD exemplifies his wide range and versatility. From the neo-classical Concerto for Oboe to the romantic Aubade, Franzetti demonstrates his ability to capture each instrument's strengths and showcase them to great effect. The Variations for Brass is a monumental work, a virtuosic tour-de-force breathtaking performed by the Millar Brass. Carlos Franzetti is a composer to watch for in the future.
