CD Reviews

Every time I listen to this CD I love it more.

"People who love Vivaldi, as I do, sense that he composed the music to be played like this. Maybe Vivaldi didn't play every note exactly like this but Giardino Armonico and Vivaldi are linked in spirit. They impart to this music the equal parts of surging power, delicate sublimness, joyous originality, and unbounded diversity Vivaldi intended. Vivaldi gems, the short phrases or single notes that suddenly appear to delight and mezmorize the audience, abound. Indeed every piece on this CD is a show stopper. If Vivaldi composed today, or maybe fifty years from now, he would bring the house down. Anyone who does not love Antonio Vivaldi after listening to any Giardino Armonico performance just does not get it."
Exhilirating

"Transcriptions of these concertos have been published in Vivaldi's opus 10, for transverse flute. Here, Il Giardino Armonico plays the original version of these concertos, which features recorder, oboe and bassoon parts. These early versions are, in my opinion, far superior in almost every point to the opus 10 concertos. Il Giardino Armonico's readings of Vivaldi are here more exhilirating than ever: the Red Priest's furious, energetic hand is certainly well served by such interpretations. The first two concertos, "The Storm at Sea" and "The Night" are of course the main attractions. I personally dislike the third ("The Goldfinch"), particularly in this rendering with sopranino recorder. But the overall qualities of this album make it a must-have, especially for those who are familiar with op. 10, and of course for the fans of Il Giardino Armonico. Discover Vivaldi in all his imperiousness."
