Orchestral works (2000)

"Maderna's music is sensuous and evocative. There are several oboe concertos, the first of them included here, together with Austrahhlung, a half hour work for full orchestra with flute & oboe soli, mezzo soprano, the sung texts in various languages from an ancient Persian anthology, and a phrase 'so wunderbar' repeated by Maderna's own daughters. Giardino religioso has the conductor moving around and playing various instruments, the instrumentalists having choices 'as if taking a walk in a garden'. Nothing to hurt here!" (Musicweb)
