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.
In Puccini’s epic opera "Turandot", Calaf sings "Nessun dorma" as he bravely contemplates the challenges to be overcome to win the heart and hand of Princess Turandot. None shall sleep until the Princess’s riddles are solved and hope has triumphed. His bold expression of confidence and success culminates in a powerful anthem that captivates all who hear it.
For a balanced sound, we recommend a minimum string section of 5-4-3-3-2.
