[Mat]

A. Pasculli - Gran Concerto su temi dell'opera I vespri sicilliani di Verdi for piano and oboe.

Robin, do you know this one? I remember you told me some time ago that you liked the other Pasculli's concerto. Maybe you're familiar with this one, too. It's just as demanding and spectacular.

Hmm, these sound interesting. Don't think I've heard them before. I'll have a look around to find them.

Today, it was selections featuring the A1 playing of Maurice Andre on trumpet. Haydn, Mozart, Bach etc. Top notch.
