Vivaldi: Concertos, Opp. 3, 4, 8 & 9
II cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, Op. 8 Nos 1-12.: "There are many things to enjoy and admire in this new recording of what must be Vivaldi's most popular set of concertos, on account of its including The Four Seasons, What I enjoyed most were the lively rhythms, imaginative phrasing and clarity of line, features which are common to each one of these performances." -- Gramophone L'Estro Armonico, Op 3: "Every last detail is clearly etched in textures of wonderful clarity, intonation is as nearly perfect as humanly possible, dynamics are arrestingly controlled while never sounding forced. A splendid achievement." -- Gramophone La Stravaganza, Op 4: "A splendid achievement all round. Wonderful solo violin playing, lively orchestral support, sensitive direction and a fine recorded sound. Strongly recommended." -- Gramophone
