Antonio Vivaldi composed twenty-seven concertos featuring solo cello.Although none of these concertos were published during his lifetime, Vivaldi clearly saw the potential in an instrument then in its infancy.The concertos are packed with Baroque innovations; virtuosic passages feature lively arpeggios, rapid semiquavers and much rhythmic diversity.First released as part of Brilliant Classics’ Vivaldi Edition, this 4CD set features renowned concertmaster Federico Guglielmo and his specialist early music ensemble L’Arte dell’Arco playing on period instruments.
