When Arriaga moved to Paris to study under Ftis, Gurin and Baillot in 1821, he revised the overture, making changes to the instrumentation and removing a third theme group. It is the revised version heard on this recording. Air from Mde and Herminie form parts of the autograph volume 'Ensayos lrico-dramticos' (Lyric-dramatic essays) that completes this release, here sung by one of Scandinavia's most sought after concert singers, Berit Norbakken Solset. Tonally ambiguous Symphony in D minor (which begins and ends in D major) alongside the Overture in D major, which was written 'without having learnt the principles of harmony' are proof that Arriaga's premature death aged 19 was a 'sad loss to Basque music'.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42311823851595,"sku":"CHN20077.2","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/3891068_f7a301de-a6bf-47ac-89f0-788fae3db250.jpg?v=1775744716","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/arriaga-berit-solset-bbc-philharmonic-symphony-in-d-minor-herminie-music-cd-095115207727","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
