Mantua - M1621.09 | Music

The city of Mantua holds significant historical importance for the southern Italy’s region of Tyrol. In this dramatic work Otto M Schwarz tells the tale of the Tyrolian freedom fighter Andreas Hofer who was executed in Mantua in 1809. The composer follows the life of this great folk hero, from his humble beginnings as an innkeeper to his death. This piece has all the energy of an exciting adventure movie – just without the pictures, of course!
