Italian Classics

Description

Italian culture infects many art forms and perhaps none more so than music. In this album, David Brooker has arranged, for violin and piano, eleven well-known pieces that simply shout ITALY at you! Italian Classics includes the unforgettable O Sole Mio, La Donna Mobile, Funiculi, Funicula and Verdi’s Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves.
For intermediate players, Italian Classics should complement your repertoire collection just as a glass of Soave accompanies Pasta alla Carbonara. And for antipasto, try Brooker’s Classical Favourites from Russia for two violins.
