The Profile

Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (1876–1948) was an Italian composer, best known for operas and lyrical orchestral works. Born to a German father and an Italian mother, his music blends late‑Romantic lyricism with classical clarity.

Italian composer (1876–1948); notable operas include Il Segreto di Susanna and I Gioielli Della Madonna; wrote orchestral, chamber and vocal works; of German father and Italian mother (quoted in reviews).

The supplied review praises Wolf-Ferrari's late‑romantic, lyrical voice: serene, melancholic, Mozartian in clarity yet rooted in early‑20th‑century experience. The reviewer highlights Idillio‑Concertino Op.15 and the Concertino Op.34 for their pastoral lyricism and evocative timbres. War, cultural dislocation and a congenital neutrality are noted as informing his music.
