Giovanni Masi (guitar),Elena Branno (Oboe), Raffaella Cardaropoli (cello) perform Aria Op.146 from Concerto da Camera by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895–1968). This comes via the Omni Foundation online series and their Youtube channel (go subscribe). The technical opus number is Aria Op.146a and is a 1968 arrangement for oboe, cello and guitar based on the second movement of an earlier work, the Concerto da Camera (1950), and is dedicated to Margaret Aue and Dorrye Roettger. Beautiful performance, not much to the guitar part but I always love the texture of guitar with wind instruments and the low of the cello adds even further depth.
