{"title":"Antonio Vivaldi","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"vivaldi-four-seasons-etc-nishizaki-gunzenhauser-95097","title":"Vivaldi: Four Seasons, Etc \/ Nishizaki, Gunzenhauser","description":"Takako Nishizaki is one of Japan's finest violinists. After studying with her father, Shinji Nishizaki, she became the first student of Shinichi Suzuki, the creator of the famous Suzuki Method of teaching children to play the violin. Subsequently she went to Japan's famous Toho School of Music and to Juilliard in the United States, where she studied with Joseph Fuchs. The first concerto, Spring, opens with the cheerful song of the birds that welcomes the season, followed by the gentle murmur of streams fanned by the breeze: there is thunder and lightning, and then the birds resume their song, represented by the solo violin assisted by two other solo violins. The second movement shows the goat-herd asleep, while the viola serves as a watch-dog, barking regularly in each bar against the murmur of the foliage. A pastoral dance brings more activity, to the sound of the bag-pipe, interrupted by a section for the solo violin that seems to breathe the sultry heat of coming summer. Autumn opens with the dance and song of the country-people, in work that has much of the artifice of the traditional pastoral convention. The last of the seasons, Winter, brings cold winds, the stamping of feet and chattering teeth. The slow movement shelters by the warmth of the fireside, while the rain falls outside, and the last movement of this eventful history shows people walking carefully on ice, slipping and falling and running in case the ice breaks. The winds are at war, but there is sport to be had.","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44626165694698,"sku":"730099505628","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/126510.jpg?v=1778345853"},{"product_id":"the-best-of-vivaldi-53770","title":"The Best Of Vivaldi","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44625834836202,"sku":"730099665520","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/205590.jpg?v=1778184966"},{"product_id":"four-seasonscto-windsvivaldi-234426","title":"Four Seasons\/Cto Winds:vivaldi","description":"Vivaldi: Four Seasons (The) \/ Wind Concertos","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44625417208042,"sku":"730099421928","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/587689.jpg?v=1778343793"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-cello-concerti-vol-1-wallfisch-kraemer-95186","title":"Vivaldi: Cello Concerti Vol 1 \/ Wallfisch, Kraemer","description":"VIVALDI: Cello Concertos, Vol.  1","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44624717086954,"sku":"730099590723","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/127038.jpg?v=1778345705"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-cello-concerti-vol-4-wallfisch-kraemer-234339","title":"Vivaldi: Cello Concerti Vol 4 \/ Wallfisch, Kraemer","description":"VIVALDI: Cello Concertos, Vol.  4","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44624716890346,"sku":"730099591027","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/127041_58b63cd7-028e-4809-86bb-6a3819fac87b.jpg?v=1778345692"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-concerti-for-strings-alberto-martini-210797","title":"Vivaldi: Concerti For Strings \/ Alberto Martini","description":"VIVALDI: Concertos for Strings","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44624715940074,"sku":"730099474221","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/127467.jpg?v=1778345984"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-four-seasons-standage-pinnock-english-concert-244516","title":"Vivaldi: Four Seasons \/ Standage, Pinnock, English Concert","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecording information: Rosslyn Hill Chapel, Hampstead, London.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRD Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44624713908458,"sku":"708093332526","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/1562317.jpg?v=1778335239"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-la-stravaganza-vol-1-watkinson-kraemer-223129","title":"Vivaldi: La Stravaganza Vol 1 \/ Watkinson, Kraemer, Et Al","description":"VIVALDI: Violin Concertos Op. 4, Nos. 1-6","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44624712532202,"sku":"730099432320","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/280861.jpg?v=1778382605"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-la-stravaganza-vol-2-watkinson-kraemer-234442","title":"Vivaldi: La Stravaganza Vol 2 \/ Watkinson, Kraemer, Et Al","description":"VIVALDI: Violin Concertos Op. 4, Nos. 7-12","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44624712499434,"sku":"730099432429","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/299918.jpg?v=1778346605"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-wind-concerti-nicholas-kraemer-197401","title":"Vivaldi: Wind Concerti \/ Nicholas Kraemer","description":"\u003cp\u003eSelections on this disc were recorded in October 1994 and January 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44624709026026,"sku":"730099420426","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/127227.jpg?v=1778346470"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-sonatas-for-strings-vol-2-095115051122","title":"VIVALDI: Sonatas for Strings, Vol. 2","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Chandos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44624149414122,"sku":"095115051122","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/106769.jpg?v=1778347208"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-recorder-concertos-7318590008652","title":"Vivaldi: Recorder Concertos","description":"RECORDER BY Dan Laurin.

The album includes several firsts, including a new recording of a 'lost' Concerto that has recently been credited to Vivaldi, and performances on a newly built Violin in Tromba Marina - an instrument thought unique to the Ospedale which Vivaldi composed for. La Serenissima is recognized as the UK’s leading exponent of the music of 18th-century Venice and connected composers. Uniquely, the group’s entire repertoire is edited from source material, and it has been praised for its ‘glorious and all-too-rare ability to make one’s pulse race afresh with every new project’ (Gramophone). La Serenissima has become synonymous with virtuosity, dynamism and accessibility, uncovering a plethora of new repertoire and making it available to all through live performance, high calibre recording work, education and outreach initiatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_MainContent_gvReviews_cell1_12_ASPxPopupControl1_ASPxLabel2\" class=\"dxeBase_PlasticBlue\"\u003eDuring his time at the Ospedale della Pietà, a Venetian institution that cared for disadvantaged children, Vivaldi wrote vocal works for the local orchestra and choir, as well as many concertos. From this oeuvre, la Serenissima’s CD presents a mixed selection. It convinces with ambitious, historically informed interpretations. Appropriate tempi, good soloists, and a conductor who knows how to keep a wonderful balance between rhythmic conciseness and sung-out melodies leave a more than positive impression. The violin concertos captivate with their interpretive coherence and rousing drive. Particularly noteworthy is the rather rarely heard violin concerto with organ and strings RV 541. Just as in instrumental music, Chandler uses all the tonal possibilities in sacred music to support the soloists with the orchestra. Jess Dandy’s darkly glowing alto is particularly impressive.

But what is the attraction of Venetian music? Probably the freshness, open-heartedness and lively bustle of the people with their informal and open-minded disposition, living in a harbour city that opened up to the world early on thanks to it's location on the Mediterranean and blossomed through international trade. Without a doubt, only Vivaldi's music is able to convey these essential elements to us contemporary people in an easily understandable and simple way.    Miho Fukio (baroque bassoon) plays the 3rd CD here, together with Dominik Worner (bass) and the Ensemble F.

On the one hand, the cycle is firmly anchored in baroque aesthetics, on the other hand, one is already moving in the direction of the galant style. In our new recording, Vivaldi's works have been carefully arranged for pan flute with orchestra by the composer Carlos Pino-Quintana. The great challenge was to maintain or even emphasise polyphonic elements of the original solo part in the new instrumentation, to subtly transfer the technical characteristics of the violin to the pan flute, to find adequate keys, and to balance the resulting contrasts and timbres between solo and tutti in the sense of concerto grosso. In the process, the accompaniment of harpsichord as basso continuo, which otherwise would have appeared only as secco accompaniment in long phrases and sections, is omitted, which opened up new possibilities for the fabric of polyphony and gave the pan flute solo voice greater scope for expression and musicality. And lo and behold, the concertos sound as if they were written for the pan flute.

His Opus 10 was published by Michel-Charles Le Cene in around 1728, though in reality many of the works in the collection were revised versions of earlier compositions, with Vivaldi capitalising on the popularity of the flute and rewriting material previously used for other instruments. Adding descriptive elements to the movement names, often connected to natural phenomena - such as 'La tempesta del mare' - was another way of boosting sales, something the composer had already discovered with his publication of The Four Seasons some years earlier. Vivaldi wrote over 500 concertos during his lifetime, and his expertise in this field is particularly evident in the exchanges between the ritornello and the orchestral tutti: while the ensemble comes together perfectly in the tutti, the soloist is really given a chance to fly in the soaring ritornelli, showcasing the instrument to it's fullest.     Performing these works is Italian flautist Mario Folena, principal flautist of the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto since 1982. He has previously collaborated with many prominent ensembles, including I Solisti Veneti and I Filarmonici di Verona, and is a respected teacher of the Baroque flute, having given summer courses at the Fondazione Cini in Venice and the conservatoires of Padova and Parma. He is joined by L'Arte dell'Arco, led from the front by violinist Federico Guglielmo, whose exuberant and thoroughly researched Vivaldi performances have previously garnered high praise.    - The LP version of one of the most successful Vivaldi recordings in the Brilliant Classics catalogue.  - Vivaldi's six Concertos for flute Op.10 nearly attain the same popularity as the Four Seasons. Published in Amsterdam in 1728 they contain some of Vivaldi's most famous concertos: Il Gardellino, La Notte and the Tempesta di Mare. Music of wonderful invention, drama, tone painting and instrumental virtuosity.  - Played on original instruments by soloist Mario Folena, a pupil of Jean-Pierre Rampal and Rene Clemencic, principal flutist of the famous Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, and veteran of the Historically Informed Performance Practice. Federico Guglielmo leads his ensemble l'Arte del'Arco, lifelong champions of the Red Priest from Venice.   - Performance is based on the new Critical Edition of Vivaldi's works, revealing many new details and insights.","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":46012531507434,"sku":"5028421900179","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4352999-3201866.jpg?v=1778234971"},{"product_id":"vivaldi-8-vol-1-the-four-seasons-other-concertos-1","title":"Vivaldi: The Four Seasons \u0026 other concertos, Vol. 1 \/ Chandler, La Serenissima","description":"\u003cp\u003eBaroque giants La Serenissima return with their new recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, among other concerti for ensemble by Antonio Vivaldi.
