Alfredo Casella (1883-1947)
Symphony n°1, Op. 5 (1905-06)
Concerto for Piano, Strings, Timpani, and Percussion, Op. 69 (1943)
(from Wiki) "Alfredo Casella developed a deep admiration for Debussy's output after hearing Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune in 1898, but pursued a more romantic vein (stemming from Strauss and Mahler) in his own writing of this period, rather than turning to impressionism. His first symphony of 1905 is from this time, and it is with this work that Casella made his debut as a conductor when he led the symphony's premiere in Monte Carlo in 1908...
Casella had his biggest success with the ballet La Giara, set to a scenario by Pirandello; other notable works include Italia, theConcerto Romano, Partita and Scarlattiana for Piano and Orchestra, the Violin and Cello Concerti, Paganiniana, and the Concerto for Piano, Strings, Timpani and Percussion."
