Luigi Arditi (22 July 1822 – 1 May 1903) was an Italian violinist, composer and conductor.
Arditi was born in Crescentino, Piemonte (Italy). He began his musical career as a violinist and studied music at the Conservatory of Milan. He made his debut in 1843 as a director at Vercelli, and it was there that he was made an honorary member of the Philharmonic Academy.
Arditi conducted opera throughout Italy and in 1846 found himself conducting as far afield as Havana, Cuba. He visited America, where he remained for a while, conducting operas in New York, Philadelphia and other cities with the Max Maretzek Italian Opera Company until 1856.
Then, following a visit to Constantinople, he decided to settle in London but made several trips again to America with the Royal Italian Opera Company. He also conducted in Germany, and in other major European cities such as St. Petersburg, Vienna and Madrid. After 1885, he was in England, conducting at Covent Garden and in various prestigious theatres and promenade concerts in London's parks. He died at Hove, near Brighton (England). His mortal remains are buried in Hove Cemetery.
Arditi is best-known for his operas, he also wrote numerous songs and vocal waltzes, the most popular of which is "Il Bacio" ("The Kiss") which he dedicated to the Italian soprano Marietta Piccolomini.
In this show we have that famous song ''Il Bacio' played as a very familiar cornet solo. The recording dates back to 1936 with Harry Mortimer as the soloist accompanied by Foden's Motor Works Band conducted by Fred Mortimer (his father).
Enjoy the show...
