Bellini/Wright Fantasy on La Sonnambula (live recording - sheet music video)

[ronde_des_sylphes]

Recital performance with sheet music.

Quite a demanding paraphrase on themes from Bellini's opera, composed by myself and largely centred on the aria 'Ah, non credea mirarti' but with some other themes in there as well. Very much in the same vein as similar creations by Liszt and particularly Thalberg albeit more condensed than their versions. I recorded this in studio a decade ago for my first cd but don't play it much in public these days not least due to the middle section being quite tricky.
