Vivaldi Masterpieces perfectly played.......2004-08-23

This CD contain six concertos, three for flute and three for "flautino" which is actually a soprano recorder. The Concerto in C major for flautino is not only one of Vivaldi's best but one of the most beatiful concertos ever. The fast movements from each of these concerti must be difficult to play because of the small size of the instruments. The capella Istropolitana and the soloist gives such spritited performances that I am still "humming" hours after listening.
Please please buy this CD. This performace cannot be bettered.
This CD belongs in the collections of not just baroque lovers or Vivaldi lovers but in every classic music lovers home.

There are so many CDs of Vivaldi's concerti worth getting. I don't think it would be easy to list all of them. But I can certainly say that if you like "The Four Seasons" then this would be a worthy addition. The sound is fine, as well as the performance (especially on Naxos). Each concerti is listed as 1 track (which I think is convenient since I would listen to a whole concerto anyway). Whenever listining to the whole CD, I would program the tracks to play 1,4,2,5,3,6. That's the order I prefer other than listening to 3 Flautino (or Piccolo) concerti in a row. That's only a minor complaint. Otherwise, I would say it's worth getting.
