Rossini: 6 Sonatas for Strings / Donizetti: Strings Quartets nos. 3 & 5

Album by Gioachino Rossini & Gaetano Donizetti & I Solisti Italiani

Rossini's Six Sonatas for Strings are early chamber works composed in 1804 when he was just 12 years old. These pieces, scored for two violins, cello, and double bass, showcase his youthful creativity and hint at the operatic flair that would define his later compositions.
