Franco Alfano (1875–1954) was an Italian composer best known for completing Puccini’s opera Turandot after the composer’s death. His own works, particu- larly his chamber music, show a deeply personal lyricism and rich harmonic language. Among these, his Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano and Piano Quintet stand out as exceptional examples of his late-Romantic style infused with Impressionist and modernist influences. The Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano, composed in the 1930s, blends lyrical expressiveness with intricate counterpoint, weaving dense textu- res while maintaining clarity between the three instruments. The dialogues between the violin, cello, and piano are filled with emotional intensity and virtuosic passages. His Piano Quintet, composed in 1945, is marked by soaring melodies, rich harmonic color, and dramatic contrasts, the piano playing an integral role rather than merely accompanying the strings. Alfano’s harmonic language in this work is both forward-thinking and rooted in late-Romantic tradition. Played with passion and commitment by the Italian DaVinci Ensemble.
