Nacido en Crema, en el norte de Italia, en 1821, Bottesini no solo fue un destacado bajista y director, sino también un exitoso compositor cuyo prolífico trabajo incluyó al menos diez óperas, además de numerosas obras sagradas y orquestales. Sin embargo, su popularidad hoy en día se debe principalmente a la amplia gama de piezas que escribió tanto conciertos como solos para el bajo. Fundamental en el repertorio del instrumento, estas obras han sido ampliamente publicadas e incluso figuran en los programas de exámenes y conservatorios de todo el mundo. Apodado el Paganini del bajo, Bottesini explotó efectivamente las posibilidades técnicas del instrumento, lo que contribuyó a su historia. Su habilidad para entender sus idiosincrasias resultó en una escritura idiomática que, combinada con su pasión por la ópera, es extremadamente lírica, como se evidencia en esta grabación, que captura perfectamente la variedad y el estilo de sus obras para bajo y piano. El disco presenta, entre otros, populares arias de Bellini y Paisiello que contienen pasajes de cadencia de amplio rango que exigen maestría en la trastienda y un control fenomenal del arco: aquí encontramos a Bottesini el showman, y estamos expuestos al estilo bel canto que era tan intrínseco de la ópera en ese momento. Interpretado por el talentoso Stefano Sciascia y David Giovanni Leonardi, esta es una fiesta de exhibición virtuosa que no se debe perder, y revela cómo el bajo, un instrumento generalmente no asociado con el repertorio de solista, es capaz de mantenerse y con gran efecto.
