Aldo Finzi, a prominent Jewish-Italian composer after winning the La Scala prize in 1938, was forced to end his career due to Mussolini’s fascist race laws. Composing in exile in his own country, Finzi died at the age of 48, his music largely unknown. As the composer's music travels around the globe from Australia to Mexico, this performance seeks to award Finzi the attention given his contemporaries Strauss, Debussy, and Respighi.
