Albinoni-Giazotto

Adagio

Strings and Organ

Manager's Note: Wikipedia notes that Giazotto, a musicologist, "arranged (1949) the famous Adagio in G minor based on a fragment of the bass part of the composition by Albinoni in 1945, discovered in Dresden State Library shortly after the Second World War (at that time, he was also completing his biography and catalogue). The fragment contained only the bass line and is believed to have been the slow movement of a trio sonata or concerto." This is thus the only selection labelled "baroque", "contemporary" and "urtext".
