L'Ultimo Burattino (Pinocchio)

Revised Edition by Federico Troncatti • in • Italian • English • French • German • Spanish • Dutch Based on the fairy tale Pinocchio by Collodi• In the Symphonic Poem L'Ultimo Burattino, the author, through the music, wanted to propose the story of Pinocchio, the world's most famous tale and a classic in children's literature, which is nothing but a metaphor of life, with its temptations, broken promises, and friendships sometimes true and sometimes false, but all are part of the one great plan of destiny. The various moments are represented by the music which very well describes the various situations in which the protagonist is, from sweet and expressive moments as the theme of the Fairy with Turquoise Hair or The Talking Cricket, and other highly dramatic as the theme of the Fire Eater and the Whale, all united by a common thread: the voice of the narrator.
