Giacomo Puccini’s operas are largely through-composed. Only occasionally does the master of verismo slacken the pace to indulge himself with an aria. The undeniable highlights of his operas, these arias are often performed in concert. The Italian conductor Andreas Gies has arranged Puccini’s best-known arias and duets for reduced wind ensemble, enabling these to be performed in smaller settings. While the string section can also be reduced in size, a sufficient number of players is needed to perform 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, the young penniless poet Rodolfo meets his enchanting neighbor Mimì and immediately succumbs to her charms. This is an intimate declaration of love that celebrates Mimì’s beauty and gentleness as the pair embark on a passionate relationship.
For a balanced sound, we recommend a minimum string section of 5-4-3-3-2.
