Product Description

The Daily Express, (Paul Callan), June 26, 2009

(5 stars) Vivaldi at his stylistic best...La Serenissima's period instruments bring a smooth beauty to the composer's most elegant music.

CD Description

After the extremely successful and acclaimed three-CD series 'The Rise of the North Italian Violin Concerto', Adrian Chandler and his period instrument ensemble La Serenissima return to AVIE to explore the Red Priest's fascination with the gout francaise on 'Vivali: The French Connection'. The recording of concertos features flautist Kathy Bircher and bassoonists Peter Whelan.

Personnel:
La Serenissima, Adrian Chandler (violin, director), Katy Bircher (flute) and Peter Whelan (bassoon)

Those who appreciate the vivacity of much of Vivaldi's work will love this collection. If your Vivaldi stopped at 'The Four Seasons' (versions by Fabio Biondi with Europa Galante have produced two versions which I have - each rather different in treatment) and you liked that then give this a go. It can be a daunting task to avoid duplication when collecting the works of a particular composer but all these here are unique excepting for any boxed sets.

Trevor Pinnock (nice 5 disc box set a few clicks away) and Rachel Podger (La Stravaganza) are other performers to watch out for with Vivaldi - Bach too. Andrew Manze also can add his own spice to Vivaldi and Bach.

Look out for The French Connection 2 for some of Vivaldi's sparkling works for flute.

One of the best cds I have ever heard, beautiful and enchanting. Serenissima at their best, wonderfully crafted and obviously fine purveyors of all things Vivaldi. The second one is equally good. Thankyou.

A good recording of Vivaldi ... but perhaps not one of the great ones. However a fascinating look into this particular period of his composing.
