Info zu SINFONIE MILANESI AFTER THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

Bei der Herstellung dieses Albums wollten die Künstler die Werke auswählen, die am repräsentativsten für die verschiedenen stilistischen Tendenzen sind, die den lombardischen Symphonismus während der Jahre der französischen Besatzung belebten. Dieses Album ist daher wie ein großes Fresko, das dem Hörer hilft, die Musik zu erleben, die in den Mailänder Theatern, Kirchen, Bildungseinrichtungen und Festivals zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts zu hören war.
