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 è 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.
