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.
Rodolfo and Mimì’s duet "O soave fanciulla" is a paean to young, impetuous love that wonderfully captures the romantic atmosphere of the first act. In this moving scene, the couple express their tender feelings and hopes for a future life together. The poignant melodies give diverse and intense expression to purity, passion and the longing for shared bliss.
For a balanced sound, we recommend a minimum string section of 5-4-3-3-2.
