An Italian songbook that celebrates the birth of a nation, tracing a story of identity and memory, through non-operatic delights by Puccini, Verdi  to lesser-known vocal gems by Pizzetti, Casella, Ottorino and Elsa Respighi and Martucci

Madeleine Holmes | soprano & Gavin Roberts | piano

Many of the songs were researched as the result of work undertaken by the generosity of a Finzi Trust Travel Scholarship.
