The young performers playing the inmates of a Naples detention center are molto bello.

The mournful molto adagio seemed to stretch time as the ensemble coalesced into rich, golden chords, with Setzer tracing graceful lines around them.

Or at least the “molto allegro” style with which this composer is often associated.

The final A minor section has more of the flat 5th/quasi-Lydian element in it than the molto adagio does, beautiful as it is.

Thrilling this is not, but it scores molto points for agonising existential crises.
