Luigi Dallapiccola reworked baroque music more freely in his two Tartinianas. A hundred years earlier Giovanni Bottesini paid homage to the then dominant world of the opera with his instrumental output, which includes also different kinds of compositions (leading the way to the most European of the Italian Romantics). Other works of these composers are given in the CDs pictured on […]
