Italian composer Alfredo Casella worked through the early decades of the 20th century, absorbing influences from both traditional Italian opera and modern European techniques. His Second Symphony, subtitled "La Donna Serpente" (The Serpent Woman), blends orchestral drama with a more contemporary harmonic language. This 2017 recording by conductor Fabrizio Ventura and the Sinfonieorchester Münster brings considerable clarity to Casella's intricate orchestration and dramatic architecture. The work unfolds with both classical structure and modernist flourishes—not as experimental as some contemporaries, but rich with ideas. Ventura's reading suggests a composer deserving more attention, someone whose works balance accessibility with genuine musical substance. A strong introduction to a figure too often overlooked in the contemporary classical catalogue.
