Giulio Regondi - Air Varie de l’opera de Bellini (I Capuleti e i Montecchi)
The piece was composed in 1845 for Regondi’s pupil, a certain Miss Donovan of Dublin. Regondi is known to have played this piece in his concerts during the 1850s and it was highly acclaimed by the critics. The monumental style of the introduction — a kind of dramatic overture — appears to be strongly influenced by the opera fantasies of Sigismund Thalberg (1812-1871).
