Giacomo Puccini (1858 – 1924) was an Italian composer.
... on his own most characteristic level, where passion, sensuality, tenderness, pathos and despair meet and fuse, he was an unrivaled master. His melodic gift and harmonic sensibility, his consummate skill in orchestration and unerring sense of theater combined to create a style that was wholly original, homogeneous and compelling. [1]
