Viotti Violin Concerto No. 12 Guido Rimonda

Giovanni Battista Viotti: Violin Concerto No. 12 in B-flat major, G. 64 I. Allegro 00:00 II. Adagio 11:40 III. Allegretto 19:01 Guido Rimonda & Camerata Ducale Orchestra This concerto in written in 1787, written by classical composer Giovanni Viotti. The first movement resembles that of Mozart's violin concerti, a very standard pleasant classical style. The second movement takes a dip into romantic style, while still maintaining its classical aspect, with beautiful flowing melodies. The third one, probably the best of the three, is a Beethoven-esque nice melody played on both violin and orchestra, wrapping the piece up with a smile. This is definitely one of the most undeservedly obscure violin concerti in the repertoire. (c)2013 Bongiovanni
