This song is "Caccini's Ave Maria", which is also called the three major Ave Maria along with "Schubert's Ave Maria" and "Gounod's Ave Maria". However, the composition of Caccini (1545? -1618) seems to be a mistake and was long thought to be unknown composer, but of the former Soviet composer Vladimir Fiodorovich Vavilov (1925-1973). I found out that it was a work. The case of making someone else's work was a hot topic in Japan a while ago, but it's strange to announce your own work as someone else's work. In the former Soviet era, there was a restraint and repression of freedom of expression, so it may have been announced as a work of a composer centuries ago. This time, I will play in a version that is arranged in a slightly pop style. The violin solo on the way plays freely from the calm atmosphere, and the feeling explodes to reach the final climax.
Ririko Takagi is exploding, so I hope you enjoy it! Lol
I hope I can play at a concert someday.
