It also contains Vivaldi’s existing Concerto for two cellos in G minor, RV 531.
The orchestra is the European Union Chamber Orchestra directed by Hans-Peter Hofmann. The album also contains Astor Piazzolla’s Milonga from his Concerto for bandoneon and guitar, also arranged for two cellos and orchestra by Julian Lloyd Webber.
