SILVIO RANIERI - Mandolinist, Conductor and Composer.

A sound video of a recording on a 78 RPM disk made in 1905 with music for Mandolin and Piano by Jean Gabriel-Marie and Louis Ganne performed by the Italian Mandolin virtuoso Silvio Ranieri, as well as a 78 RPM recording of Pietro Mascagni's famous Intermezzo 'Cavalleria Rusticana' played by The Belgian Mandolin Orchestra (the Mandolin section of the 'Grande Harmonie Royale Bruxelles) conducted by Silvio Ranieri (Rome, 1882 - 1956, Bruxelles).

The additional commentary and photos are a real treasure of mandolin history. I'll be coming back to this several times to absorb the music more deeply and read more of the text

Great to hear these recordings! Ralph Leenen has also shared some this week. Quite a revelation.

Beautiful introduction to Ranieri, an often overlooked Mandolin master.

Hi Alex, did you post the text for this video somewhere? Or do you like to add it as a comment here? Reading it in a moving line is a bit difficult..just an idea. Thanks a lot for your video!

Loved it, recording and pictures. Are there more solorecordings by Ranieri?
