About

From the very first notes, with their tolling bells, Casella’s Symphony No.2 is deeply indebted to its model, Mahler’s own Symphony No.2, whose Parisian première was championed by Casella during his years in the French capital.

A notte alta (‘In deepest night’), which Casella described as ‘the only piece of programme music I have ever composed… inspired by emotional events in my personal life’ (Casella’s love for his Parisian student Yvonne Müller), is a work of intimate self-revelation and sombre meditation on ‘the utter indifference of Nature to human passions’.
