Publisher's Synopsis

Apart from the three operas that came to be performed (Fortunio, Cimbelino and Doña Flor), which had controversial stories but assured a national resonance to the author, van Westerhout was openly praised by his contemporaries for the massive production of instrumental music - a rare presence In the career of Italian composers of his time - and especially for his piano music. Unfairly neglected, however, has been so far the production of chamber vocal music, although prominent in the whole career of van Westerhout. The project of the complete edition of this repertoire allows for the first time to enter this special sound world. «And it is in this production that we have the feeling of knowing Nicolino's sensitivity, his thoughts, his solitude and the elegant melancholy that makes him one of the most wavered rediscoveries of the Italian nineteenth century, in the shadow of its splendors in which he is still waiting for his great and well-deserved praise.»
