Synopsis

Album Description
Two of today's most charismatic and original violinists join forces for an all-new album of Vivaldi double concertos. This exciting repertory is given new life and energy by the two thrilling musicians. Giuliano Carmignola's last Vivaldi album of unrecorded violin concertos, released in 2006, went on to become a sparkling success. He continues to give revealing performances of Vivaldi that are both viscerally exciting and musically adventurous. As in previous releases, Carmignola is joined by Andrea Marcon and the Venice Baroque Orchestra--one of the finest Baroque ensembles performing today.

Rarely performed Vivaldi Concertos done with PIZZAZZ!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Currently, there are two excellent 5* reviews of this recording and a 3* recording which is hard to understand - I'm not going to repeat the superlative comments made already by the two reviewers who seem to really appreciative the performances of these two phenomenal experienced period Baroque violinists. But, just for another excellent review, check out the comments on MusicWeb International:

Not sure that I like the new 'spiky doo' on Mullova (compared to some older recordings of her that I own), but hey I'm just listening! If you're a Vivaldi fan, this disc should be at least heard if not purchased."
Pure beauty

"This prestigious recording is one of the highlights of the year, so far. It should be capable of attracting our children to classical music. Sound and performance are highly remarkable and just beautiful!"

"If there is a better version of these beautiful pieces out there, I have not heard it. A wonderfully up-lifting piece of music."
