Vivaldi: Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, L'estro armonico, La Stravaganza, Concerti con molti strumenti (1&2), Concerti con titoli, Concerti per viola d'amore - Vivaldi's concertos - so irresistibly inventive and colourful - have become central to the world's appreciation of Baroque music. In the composer's own time his brilliantly innovative works created something of an international sensation, even exciting the admiration of Johann Sebastian Bach. Doing full justice to the Venetian master's genius, Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante give performances of captivating virtuosity and immediacy.
