When conducting operas Bottesini would often perform fantasies on the evening’s entertainment during the intermission. Two such fantasies, ‘Lucia di Lammermoor’ and ‘Beatrice di Tenda’, are virtuosic tours de force in which the complex double bass figurations mimic the coloratura vocal writing of the day. In keeping with this vocal style, this recording also includes the song Une bouche aimée with double bass obbligato, most likely performed on one of Bottesini’s frequent concert tours with various leading sopranos of the day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Fantasia 'Lucia Di Lammermoor' \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Romanza Drammatica \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Introduzione E Bolero \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Romanza: Une Bouche Aimã©E \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Capriccio Di Bravura \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Elã©Gie in D \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Fantasia 'Beatrice Di Tenda' \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Grande Allegro Di Concerto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
