Bottesini - Fantasia Beatrice di Tenda I Wies de Boevé & Clara Dutto

The fantasy on themes from Bellini's Beatrice di Tenda was one of Bottesini's own favorite works.
Here you can hear it in a live recording from a recital dedicated to Giovanni Bottesini. I used a 3-stringed bass, just as the composer did throughout his life.

I just want to comment that you're the first person I've seen upload classical music to Spotify with useful titles (including the composer name) for this album. (Or at least whoever at Warner Classics handled it.) All over Spotify (etc.) I see these movement names with no indication of who the composer is, and I think "how could anyone let that happen?" but it's how EVERYONE uploads their music, and what the distributor guidelines call for. Glad that SOMEBODY had the sense and courage to do the right thing... Thank your record label for me! (Thanks because I will be using this album as my example of how I demand tracks be uploaded, even if it goes against the guidelines.)

Fantastic playing Dear Wies. Hope you’re well. BRAVO!!!

@wiesdeboevecom Is it the same bass you used in other performances like ARD Finale or Bottesini Competition? Do you feel any big difference about sound projection or sound quality? Great performance, by the way.
