The Italian Art of the Bow – Strings & Italian Opera


THE SERIES

The Italian Art of the Bow is an opportunity to wander in the opulent and various repertoire for the string family created by Italian composers since the sixteenth century, to be dazzled by the acrobatic virtuosity of their fast-paced pieces, to be charmed by the enchanting, delicate sweetness of their immortal melodies, to be intrigued by the sparkling originality of their sound research, and to discover so many personalities whose names should not be confined to the books on the history of music.

FIRST PART
STRINGS & ITALIAN OPERA

The fabulous, yet unusual Duets for cello and double bass created by the operatic genius Gioacchino Rossini and by the famous eighteenth-century double bass virtuoso Domenico Dragonetti, are back to London after almost two centuries, along with a contemporary piece which renews the long-lasting Romantic tradition of the instrumental transcriptions, variations and fantasie on favourite opera themes.
