Brooker postulates that music of Italy primarily brings to mind the vocal offerings of its centuries of compositions. He also maintains that Italy has given us unparalleled masterpieces in violin making. Combining these two not incompatible concepts, he brings a solid selection of eleven distinctly Italian songs to his violin and piano arrangements, which allow performers of intermediate and better skills to SING through their instruments. Every one of these songs is as familiar as pasta, from 'O sole mio and La donna e mobile to Funiculli, Funicula and Gne Gne. Brooker's collection of Italian Classics is suitable for events from concert stage to gatherings with friends and family.
