Giuseppe Martucci (1856-1909) stands as a prominent figure in Italian musical history, celebrated for his contributions as a composer, conductor, and pianist. Born in Capua, Italy, Martucci demonstrated remarkable musical talent from a young age. His early studies in Naples under Beniamino Cesi and Paolo Serrao paved the way for a career marked by innovation and artistic depth.

Martucci's compositions reflect a synthesis of Romantic and classical influences, showcasing a deep understanding of form and harmony. His orchestral works, including symphonies, piano concertos, as well as his chamber music, reveal a mastery of orchestration and a commitment to exploring new expressive possibilities. His style is a happy and individual mix of Wagner and Verdi, dramatic chromatism softened by lyrical, bel canto style melodies. His works are appreciated for their melodic richness, harmonic sophistication, and inventive orchestration.

Included in the collection are Martucci’s complete orchestral works, including the symphonies and piano concertos, chamber music, piano music and songs.

This set is the first in a projected series titled “Italian Romantics”, featuring (late) romantic composers and repertoire, representatives of the rich musical tradition and heritage of Italy.
