Synopsis

Product Description

Performing artist Conrad Steinmann has devoted a great deal of time and energy to a question that may seem quite banal: 'What kind of flute was Vivaldi's in reality?' And in his search for answers, he came across Bartolo-meo Bismantova. This scholar's manuscript treatise 'Compendio Musicale' of 1677 contains detailed instructions for the performance of various instruments. Following a general introduction to music theory comes a remarkably extensive treatment of the recorder. It describes the 'flauto italiano' as an instrument in three sections bored and turned in the Baroque fashion, and with the ground note g' (he also mentions a different-sized instrument with the ground note d'). Thanks to this knowledge and the ensemble's extraordinarily spirited music-making, Vivaldi's works can now be heard with a new freshness. No fewer than six differently bored and tuned instruments were used, and they cast a surprising new light on Vivaldi's world of sounds. This discovery of 'new' tone colors and the logic of unexpected new fingering techniques lend a unique brilliance to this recording and provide a compelling and infectiously invigorating listening experience.
