5.0 out of 5 stars Performances with vigour, life and subtlety, 4 Sep 2004
Lively performances with interesting interpretation. Excellently performed - The concertino parts are often performed so well you might mistake the solo violin part for a singers voice - it has life and vigour without ever sounding harsh or pushed. Excellent tonal balance & stereo image and subtle obligato make these concercos some of the best I've ever bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Phoenix from the ashes!, 7 Dec 2008
By Jon Chambers (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
These were the concerti that set the music world alight back in 1711. Revolutionary and hugely influential, they also made Vivaldi an overnight celebrity. If Opus 3's fires have cooled since then, this double CD by Fabio Biondi is more likely than any other to re-ignite its flames, for this is a brilliant and impassioned interpretation.

Purists may disapprove of Biondi's bravura tendencies - Vivaldi scholar Michael Talbot, for one - but showmanship, creativity and joie de vivre are part of the appeal of this music and Biondi combines charisma and caprice with Baroque sensibility - here is no constant vibrato or Nigel Kennedy excess. Biondi knows when to embellish and when to leave things unvibrated and undecorated. And just as the Venice Baroque Orchestra provides the perfect foil for Carmignola, Europa Galante bring an energy and commitment that lift their contribution way above the mere accompaniment. Even a cursory listen to the MP3 files on Amazon's site will tell you just how important a role is played by percussion on these CDs, the lute being particularly well foregrounded and effective.

Biondi isn't afraid of taking quite large liberties, varying dynamics and tempi as well as being, in general, decorative. The point at which this assertion of personality becomes annoying is a matter of taste. For me, his own artistic input is a welcome feature of this recording. The running order of concerti is changed from the published order so that major and minor tonalities alternate throughout both CDs, yet the composer's aim of varying concerti with single, double, treble and quadruple soloists is respected.

Ultimately, this is the version of L'estro armonico I would want to take with me (along with Christopher Hogwood's recording as a more 'conventional' alternative). Fabulous and exuberant stuff, this recaptures the excitement of three centuries ago like no other!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vivaldi: L'estro armonico, Concertos Op. 3, 4 Oct 2009
By S. Farrall - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a perfect piece of music, all strings,upbeat and cheerful. Written almost 300 years ago. People would have enjoyed listening to it then, I enjoy listening to it now and i would like to think that in years to come it will still be popular.
