Giacomo Puccini’s operas are largely through-composed. Only occasionally does the master of verismo slacken the pace to indulge himself with an aria. The undeniable highlights of his operas, these arias are often performed in concert. The Italian conductor Andreas Gies has arranged Puccini’s best-known arias and duets for reduced wind ensemble, enabling these to be performed in smaller settings. While the string section can also be reduced in size, a sufficient number of players is needed to perform the many divisi.
In this lively scene from the second act, Musetta takes center stage with her passionate aria. The intoxicating waltz “Quando men vò” is an irresistible ode to freedom and a lust for life.
For a balanced sound, we recommend a minimum string section of 5-4-3-2-1.
