Castelnuovo-Tedesco: Shakespeare Overtures, Vol. 1 Penny, West Australian Symphony Orchestra, Marangella, Harrison, Arbuckle, Goldschlager

That art of Shakespeare was a recurring fascination for Mario Castelnuove-Tedesco. In addition to two operas and numerous settings of songs and sonnets, he wrote 11 Shakespeare Overtures which here receive their first ever recording. These are some of the 20th century's most dramatic and tuneful orchestral works, spectacular evocations of Shakespeare's greatest plays. (Naxos)
