Description
The Vivaldi Collection Volume 1 is a superb introduction to one of the Baroque era’s most inventive and influential composers. The CD centres on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons — the four programmatic violin concertos ‘Spring’, ‘Summer’, ‘Autumn’, and ‘Winter’ — which remain among the most recognisable and technically brilliant works in the classical canon. Alongside these, the disc presents two concertos from the landmark Op. 3 set L’Estro Armonico, including the B minor Concerto Grosso No. 10 and the D minor No. 11, works that dazzled European audiences and influenced composers as great as J.S. Bach. Together, these pieces offer an ideal portrait of Vivaldi’s gift for rhythmic energy, vivid imagery, and melodic invention…
