Strauss II arr. Martelli – Wine, Women and Song (String Quartet) – Digital Download
The Waltz King was known to like a tipple now and then and to be quite a success with the frauleins, but of the three articles listed in the title of this composition, here arranged for string quartet by Carlo Martelli, there is no doubt that the composer excelled or equalled all others in the third category.

Strauss II, Johann
Strauss II arr. Martelli – Wiener Blut (String Quartet) – Digital Download
One of the first characteristics that strike us in the work of the younger Johann Strauss is his seemingly inexhaustible melodic fertility. Carlo Martelli's exquisite arrangement of this opus by the Waltz King if anything enhances the grace, yearning, capriciousness and sensuous gaiety of the tunes.

It was Johann Strauss the first who made the Viennese waltz internationally famous, not only in ballrooms but also on the concert platform. Although his waltzes have been eclipsed by those of his much more famous son, he is still remembered for this ever popular march, here arranged for string quartet by Carlo Martelli.

Saint-Saëns, Camille
The Carnival of the Animals, the work from which this most perfect and evocative of melodies comes, was strangely not permitted to be published or performed in the composers lifetime.
