Saint-Saëns: Messe de Requiem. Partsongs.
The Coro della Radio Svizzera, Lugano, a choir founded by Edwin Loehrer in 1936, has established a worldwide reputation, particularly through its performance of Italian music from the sixteenth to the eighteent centuries, although its repertoire also includes madrigals, opera and contemporary music. Since its formation in 1933, the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana has operated in a small area between the Alps to the north and Italy to the south, absorbing a variety of cultural influences but retaining its Swiss-Italian character.
