Gian Carlo Menotti: Triplo Concerto a Tre (1970)

Although the Italian-American composer and librettist, Gian Carlo Menotti (1911-2007) is probably best remembered today for his many operas, he also composed a substantial body of orchestral works. His Triplo Concerto a Tre features nine soloists, three in each movement. There has been one commercial recording of this work, but it appears to be out-of-print at this time. Here is a performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy. The nine soloists are announced at the beginning of this broadcast recording. -Video Upload powered by
