One might be a bit nervous about buying this 1975 recording and wondering about sound quality and non-HIP performance, but really one shouldn't be. Although the sound is not quite as sharp as may be found in the finest recordings the analogue to digital transfer has given perfectly good audio quality and these performances by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields conducted by Neville Marriner really don't sound out of place (at least to my inexpert ear) amongst modern recordings of other Vivaldi violin concerti.
There are probably better recordings - many rave for example about the Rachel Podger set - myself I would have gone for the recordings by the always superb Fabio Biondi if he had recorded the full set and not half of what was after all intended by Vivaldi as a coherent programme of concerti. But if building a library of Vivaldi violin concerti, at this knockdown price compared to others, you can't go too far wrong.
