An intimate, lyrical and romantic suite with neo-classical movement.

“…In ‘Italian Suite’, set to excerpts from the operas of Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, the work is supremely romantic, filled with virtuoso bits. Gorgeous women in pink swoop into the arms of their cavaliers, amid Thomas Skelton’s dappled lighting.”
