Scotland/PA A lost Vivaldi flute concerto is to be heard in full for the first time in 250 years after being rediscovered in the family archives of a Scottish nobleman who was killed at the battle of Culloden.
Andrew Woolley, a musicologist, stumbled upon the find of his career when he saw a reference to an unspecified Vivaldi score among papers belonging to the Marquesses of Lothian in the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh. The composition had lain unremarked for 20 years.

One of the other posts today reminded me of Philip Glass' Violin Concerto. This is another piece I have heard the violinist in my band play many times. Here is the rather lovely 2nd movement.
