In the English-speaking world, his contemporary Luigi Dallapiccola may be better known, but Petrassi was just as highly regarded in his home country. His music, inspired by Stravinsky and Hindemith, is dynamic and colourful.
"[Cvilak] sounds sweet, warm and electrifying when required, and Noseda directs his Turin forces with authority and understanding of these powerful works. I hope Chandos will give us more Petrassi from this team" (Five Stars) BBC Music Magazine Awards 2014 - Choral Finalist
"The performances by the forces of Teatro Regio, Turin, are committed and persuasive, though both works sound like they need a little more 'living with'. Soprano Sabina Cvilak is taxed at times by Petrassi's tough, high vocal lines but otherwise hers is a gutsy account." (Gramophone)
