Vincenzo Caminiti (d. 2010) was leader of the RTE Symphony Orchestra cello section and husband of RTESO violinist Vanessa Caminiti. The Caminiti collection donated to the TU Dublin Conservatory of Music & Drama contains the original manuscripts compositions and arrangements for violoncello of his father Giuseppe Caminiti (1898-1971). The remaining collection of over one hundred printed violoncello scores comprises canonical repertoire including Bach, Beethoven, Dvorak, Popper, Prokofiev, Selmi and Vivaldi. This collection of printed scores, together with Berlioz’s instrumentation and Sanctis’s polyphony treatises, are part of the library’s general lending collection.
The contents of the collection can be seen here.
