Each of the four violin concertos that comprise the famous Four Seasons are now available with full orchestra accompaniment in the Ricordi “Soloist in Concert” series. Imagine what it would cost to hire an orchestra to accompany you, whenever you like! The CD also includes a full performance of the featured concerto by violinist Maurizio Carnelli. These new publications for solo violin and piano reduction, in new music engravings, were edited by Maurizio Carnelli. The four concertos are available separately.

First performed in Paris at the Theatre des Italiens on January 3, 1843. Don Pasquale is one of the best known and loved of Donizetti's operas. A Masterpiece of comic-romantic opera, it stands out for its new pathetic theme where lyricism and melancholy are counterbalanced by smiles and often bold laughter.
