Double bass soloist Valentina Ciardelli's latest recording - of Bottesini's Grande Allegro di Concerto alla Mendelssohn, accompanied by pianist Alvaro Siculiana, releases on 17 December 2021. This EP celebrates the bi-centenary of the birth of Luigi Bottesini, the 'Paganini of the double bass' and one of its greatest performers of all time.
The Grande Allegro di Concerto (inspired by the first movement of Mendelssohn's E Minor Violin Concerto) is a pinacle of Romantic double bass music - blinding virtuosity blending riveting drama and plaintive melodies. This new recording by Valentina Ciardelli and Alvaro Siculiana is made after the original manuscripts and latest Urtext edition edited by Stephen Street.
