Giacomo Puccini's operas are largely dramatically through-composed. Only in a few places does the master of verismo allow himself to linger longer in the form of an aria. These arias are highlights of his operas and are often performed in concert.
The Italian conductor Andreas Gies has arranged Puccini's best-known arias and duets for a reduced wind ensemble to enable them to be performed in smaller settings. The string section can be adapted, but should not be too small due to the many divisi.

"Che gelida manina" is a heart-rending expression of first love and romantic awakening: in this famous scene from the first act, Rodolfo, the young penniless poet, meets his enchanting neighbor Mimì and falls in love with her instantly. An intimate declaration of love that celebrates the beauty and tenderness of Mimì and marks the beginning of a passionate relationship.

For a balanced sound, we recommend a minimum string section of 5-4-3-3-2.
