Manno Wolf-Ferrari

Manno Wolf-Ferrari (5 September 1911 – 17 April 1994) was an Italian conductor, nephew of composer Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari.

He studied in Venice and Siena, and quickly established himself as a leading conductor of the Italian opera repertory, which he performed widely in Italy but also abroad, notably in Monte-Carlo, London, Madrid, Australia and New Zealand. In June 1949 while in Brisbane, Queensland, his wife, the soprano Rina Mariosa, gave birth to a son, whom they christened Giuseppe Brisbane Wolff-Ferrari.

In 1951 he recorded the premiere recording of Cimarosa's opera ''Il matrimonio segreto'' with the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and a cast headed by Alda Noni, Giulietta Simionato, Cesare Valletti and Sesto Bruscantini for Warner Fonit. Provided by Wikipedia
