Giacomo Puccini composed 16 chamber songs for voice and piano over a very long period, from the early 1880s to 1919.

They are small, refined gems that anticipate and reflect the Maestro's operatic lyricism; indeed, one of the main reasons for interest in these pages lies in their very close relationship with some of the most famous moments in Puccini's melodrama.

This is all too easy to forget, given how dominant the image of Giulini presiding over his orchestra in the great symphonic repertoire has become, but the conductor first cut his teeth in the orchestra pit at La Scala, where he began as Sabata’s assistant before being swiftly promoted to principal conductor. From that era, we are left with legendary recordings of operatic masterpieces featuring Maria Callas or Renata Tebaldi, and memories of those sizzling nights at La Scala, as well as more unexpected works, such as the delightful Serva padrona, Pergolesi’s most famous intermezzo.

The result is a well-paced historical drama, closer to French operatic models with limited reliance on bel canto and the influence of Rossini.

A world of profound humanity opened up before me. I did not yet understand the codes of this music, but I already I sensed that a key was turning, unlocking the door to an intensely emotional space,” says Camille Delaforge.
