Giovanni Bottesini - "Rossini fantasia" for 2 Double Basses and Piano
Giovanni Bottesini (22 December 1821 - 7 July 1889) was an Italian Romantic composer, conductor, and a double bass virtuoso. In 1871 he conducted a season of Italian opera at the Lyceum theatre in London, during which his opera Ali Babà was produced, and he was chosen by Verdi to conduct the first performance of Aida, which took place at Cairo on 24 December 1871. Shortly before his death, in 1888 he was appointed director of Parma Conservatory on Verdi's recommendation. Bottesini died in Parma on 7 July 1889. His solo works remain standard repertoire for accomplished double bassists to this day.
