Description:
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.
In the famous and harrowing scene of the third act, Cavaradossi gazes at the twinkling stars in the night sky and reflects on his life and his love for Tosca. Expressing his despair, he relives the last moments before his execution - a powerful musical testimony to love and loss.
For a balanced sound, we recommend a minimum string section of 5-4-3-3-1.
