Argento: Casa Guidi / von Stade / Minnesota Orchestra

Editorial Reviews
SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Von Stade is in great voice, and Oue is an ideal interpreter of these well-crafted scores."

Album Description
"Prof. Johnson’s recording has a see-through quality, with superb dynamics and natural scaling of the solo instruments…it’s good to have Reference Recordings back, and in top form." -THE ABSOLUTE SOUND

World-premiere recordings of important works by one of America’s outstanding living composers! Dominick Argento is one of America’s most-performed composers, a Grammy and a Pulitzer prizewinner. Casa Guidi was written for Frederica von Stade, one of America’s best-loved singers, a long-time star of the Metropolitan Opera. Casa Guidi won a Grammy for "Best New Composition".
