Cirano di Bergerac, symphonic poem (1929). “The form of symphonic poem, not very frequent in the
catalogue of Italian composers, was greatly favoured by Finzi who loved vast
musical frescoes, a many-coloured orchestra and the splendour of timbric
contrast…. Cirano di Bergerac, performed in world première at the Maggio Musicale in Florence in 1929,
conducted by Gui, was enthusiastically welcomed by the audience that asked
insistently for an encore, which, however, was not granted. The audience
proved to share the favourable judgement that a commission, including
Toscanini, Alfano and Pizzetti, had given of the work.”… Gian Paolo
