Notes:

This two CD set is perfect for listeners who want to find an all-encompassing recording of the music of Vivaldi. It begins with the popular 'Four Seasons,' expertly played by the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, with the added treat of Igor Kipnis at the harpsichord. Then follows concerto after concerto for a variety of instruments. There are mandolin and guitar concerti, violin single and double concerti, woodwind concerti--you get the picture. The performances are culled from recordings made between the '70's and early '90's and show Vivaldi's facility and genius as a composer. At home writing for just about any instrument, Vivaldi excelled at the concerto form. Capable of great sensitivity, humor, subtlety, even piety, Vivaldi's music can be enjoyed by novice and aficionado alike.
