Il sogno

Classical · 2002 · 24 tracks

Il sogno

A lush, fully orchestral ballet score inspired by Shakespeare. Whimsical, complex, and entirely instrumental, it trades punk snarl for symphonic sophistication.

2002 · Deutsche Grammophon

A whimsical and sophisticated symphonic journey that balances theatrical drama with delicate, dreamlike beauty.

Moments Worth Listening For

The frantic, darting woodwinds in Puck 1 that perfectly capture the character's mischievous energy.

The lush, romantic swell of the strings during The Spark of Love that evokes a classic Hollywood score.

The sudden, jarring brass stabs in Tormentress that break the dreamlike spell of the previous tracks.
