This album is a testament to Viotti's enduring legacy as a virtuoso violinist and composer, showcasing his intricate compositions adapted for flute and piano.
Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 29 minutes, the album features a diverse array of pieces, including Nocturnes and Serenades, each meticulously arranged by B.T. Berbiguier. The tracklist is a journey through Viotti's musical genius, starting with the hauntingly beautiful "Nocturne No. 1 in A Minor" and culminating in the lively "Presto assai" from the "Serenade in E Major, Op. 23, No. 6."
