VARIEGATED AND VENERABLE VIVALDI.......2005-08-05

Pinnock's empathetic and colorful treatment of these gorgeous Vivaldi concerti is a joy to hear, and The English Concert, under his direction from the keyboard, glorifies the composer's diversity and imagination with an enchanting and fluid effortlessness. The programming of these characterful works is a striking reminder of the composer's ceaseless inspiration. With an infectious joie de vivre apparent at every turn, considerably attractive solo contributions, especially in the engaging slow movements, captivating attention to detail, and a sound world that is both warm, yet vibrant, this recording is a panacea.

[Running time: 59:11]

One of my favorite Vivaldi discs . . ........2002-02-15

I own about 25 Vivaldi discs, and this is one of my favorites. Trevor Pinnock delivers again, and each concerto is typcial Vivaldi: Elegant and graceful, yet full of passion. It's too bad this disc is most likely out-of-print. I found my disc used, and grabbed it up. If you can find it (ether used or as a cut-out), please don't hesitate to buy it. Each concerto sounds beautiful, and the Archiv sound quality is evident on every selection. A must buy if you can find it. Good luck!

Uplifting.......2001-08-11

Antonio Vivaldi is so well known for his The Four Seasons. I came across this CD and found it to be vibrant and energetic in its presentation and emotional effect on the listener. I would recommend this CD even though I am more partial to modern American composers and film music in general. I suppose there are musical roots that strike a chord if you take the time and do a little digging.

Most Excellent!.......1999-11-03

I loved this recording and recommend it highly to all fans of Vivaldi and baroque music! The English concert have here a most vibrant and stylish interpretation of these great works! The recording is also quite good!

This recording presents music by two Scarlattis: Alessandro (1660-1725), composer of innumerable vocal and chamber works, and his son Domenico (1685-1757), famous mostly for his several hundred keyboard sonatas. Alessandro is represented by six Concerti Grossi, a Sonata, and a Sinfonia; Domenico by three Sinfonias. All feature solo instruments: harp, recorder, and most prominently, violins and continuo cello. Alessandro fostered his son's talent, but the two eventually, perhaps inevitably, became rivals, and Domenico left his native Rome for Portugal and then Spain. Most of Alessandro's music recorded here is somber, solemn, and mournful, full of dissonances and sighing suspensions; four of the six concerti are in minor, but the two in major are bright and sprightly. One of the highlights is the slow, pastoral Finale of No. 6. They vary greatly in form, character, and texture; there is much masterful counterpoint, pungent rhythmic inventiveness, and a chromaticism that seems ahead of its time.

Europa Galante, an excellent Italian period-instrument group, is distinguished by its successful blending of meticulous technical and ensemble execution with musical spontaneity. Notable among the soloists are cellist Maurizio Naddeo and recorder player Petr Zeifart. Violinist Fabio Biondi, the group's director, is outstanding for his virtuosity, beautiful tone, and daring, inventive ornamentation. He deserves our gratitude for rescuing these unfamiliar works from undeserved neglect. --Edith Eisler

Music to get your teeth into.........2006-08-04

This disc is a little imposing at first, but familiarity is rewarded with this program of superb early baroque music that has a great variety of pieces.

One of the reviewers below finds it depressing. I can understand how the slow dense shifting chords in several of the pieces could evoke that feeling, but for me they seem to express some deeply felt and complex inner peace, especially as they are interspersed with some light and elegant passages, especially some that feature lute or plucked violin(?).

I guess that this isn't perhaps the easiest Biondi disc to listen to for some people (I would advise listening to a few tracks first), but Europa Gallante give a wonderful compact performance.

Love every second of it!.......2006-07-01

This is my kind of music - rich, elegant, arrogant, polished, colourful and stylish.

Fabio Biondi and his team make the most beautiful possible in this CD and my only complaint is that the CD wasn't totally devoted to Alessandro Scarlatti - why bother with Domenico here?

The A minor concerto/sonata for recorder, two violins, violoncello & basso continuo is a highlight and exquisite piece of music.

A "must have".

Excellent Recording; Historically Important.......2006-06-06

A Crisp and clear recording, and the best of the orderly, structured music of The Enlightenment in my opinion. One can hear the optimism and confidence of the time ringing thru the music of The Scarlattis. Around 1701, Domenico (b.1685 - d.1757) was named organist and composer of the vice-regal court at Naples, where his father was a respected maestro. About a year later he took a leave of absence and travelled with his family to Florence where his father, Alessandro (b. 1660 - d. 1725), hoped for employment from Pnnce Ferdinando de' Medici. Sadly, Alessandro didn't get the job, so his father canned Domenico in 1705 and sent him off to Venice to find employment. Some think that Domenico first met Handel in Venice. (The two eventually formed a strong friendship.) Domenico also spent time in Rome (where he wrote seven operas for Queen Maria Casimira) and in Portugal.

By the invention of the machine gun (esp. the Gatlin gun in 1861), things have changed in classical music, and one does not hear such calm, rational, even mathematical structures appearing as the main motiffs from composers of the day. Even earlier, however, the committment to reason was fading fast. First, in 1853, Richard Wagner publishes the librettos to Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring Cycle): Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Seigfried and Die Götterdämerung. The Ring Cycle is considered one of the most ambitious musical projects ever undertaken by a single person, and everything is now "over the top", poetic and romantic. Second, in 1860 the slave trade introduces West African rhythms, work songs, chants and spirituals to America, which strongly influence blues and jazz, and which attracts many of the best musical minds of the era.

For some time now, there has been no room for any philosopher kings in contemporary (i.e post-enlightenment) society. Given the continuing craziness of the early 21st century, don't look for any to soon arise.

EYE OPENING .......2006-02-06

When I listen to instrumental Baroque music I, of course, go to J.S. Bach then to Tomoso Albinoni and to Antonio Vivaldi not thinking of Alessandro Scarlatti or his son Domenico for instrumental (as in string ensembles) Baroque music. I primarily think of Alessandro for vocal works and Domenico for keyboard works. This recording has certainly opened my eyes to the fact there was far more to the Scarlattis than my preconceived ideas.

Alessandro's Concerti Grossi are indeed rather somber being written mainly in minor keys and consisting of at least two slow movements. I do have a propensity for the love of works in minor keys and for movements marked "Grave", "Adagio" and/or "Largo"; therefore, I enjoyed his Concertos. (After all, there are dance movements that although they would not make one "twirl the floor" they are very graceful.) The programming on this disc is great because the aforesaid somber works by Alessandro are lightened by the Sinfonias of his son Domenico whose works are mainly in major keys and are more lively!

Fabio Biondi and the original instrumental group Europa Galante play wonderfully plus the sound of the recording is full, lush and warm.

In closing, I will still stick to Tomoso Albinoni and to Antonio Vivaldi to start my day. However, this recording of Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti is a fine way to end my day. The music is indeed beautiful!

There is such a difference in this type of music that compares to no other. It is so uplifting and vital.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent and unique........2006-09-30

This is one of the best collections of Mozart's wind concerti played on original instruments. Thomas Crawford's Orchestra of the Old Fairfield Academy plays with beauty, gorgeous tone, transparency, grace, enthusiasm and apparent love of the music. The soloists are without exception excellent, and play either on original instruments or (more commonly) on instruments reconstructed from period models. Sandra Miller does a wonderful job on the flute concerti (playing with a sweetness and love unusual in performances of these pieces), as does Marc Schachman on the oboe concerti and Dennis Godburn on the bassoon.

But special mention has to go to the two unique concerti groups in this release: the clarinet concerto and the horn concerti. For the clarinet concerto, soloist Eric Hoeprich reconstructed Mozart's original performance version for the bassett clarinet, and went so far as to build his own bassett clarinet based on an engraving of the one played by the concerto's original soloist, Anton Stadler. Not only does Hoeprich's instrument sound gorgeous and mellow, it permits him to play several passages an octave lower than we are used to hearing. The result is not only one of the most beautiful performances of this gorgeous piece I've heard, it is also one which, after the initial shock of hearing something unfamiliar, just sounds completely "right." Listening to other performances based on Mozarts' revision of the piece for standard clarinet, I am now aware of how Mozart had to split octaves on certain phrases and how much better it sounds in the original, "un-split" version. For this reason alone one should buy this set.

The horn concerti were also gone over, revised based on Mozart's autograph versions where available, and in some cases reconstructed and rescored by Mozart specialist Robert Levin. Levin has played improvisations on Mozart's piano pieces and he seems to have absorbed the composer's musical language and spirit to an astonishing degree. The pieces sound new and fresh, in many cases more "Mozartian" than the versions we've come to know (several of which involved revisions by Mozart's pupil Sussmayer -- I've got to say Levin seems to know Mozart better than Sussmayer did!). The performances by RJ Kelly and the orchestra are all first-rate. In addition, the disc includes a separate performance of the Rondo-Allegro to the Concerto K412 which includes Mozart's written running commentary of insults to the original soloist Joseph Luetgeb -- fun to listen to once at least.

I'm sorry to see this set is not as easily available as it once was. It really should be at the top of your list for all of these concerti. Buy it if you can find it.

Vivaldi:La Notte (Concerti per strumenti diversi).......2007-01-11

This CD was all that I expected. It offered at least the quality of performance and repoduction as any of my other 24 Vivaldi CDs. All but one of the pieces were new to my collection. I assume this is because these are infrequently performed. Nonetheless, these compositions were alltogether as interesting as Vivaldi's other works. Musica Pacifica,Judith Linsenberg,and Elizabeth Blumenstock remain true to the Baroque forms in style and interpretation. I have no regrets from this purchase.

"Concept" discs get a bad name, but here's one that works. Alessandrini has come up with the idea of recording the original Venetian concertos that served as the basis for well-known adaptations by Bach. An added twist is his orchestration of Bach's original piece for harpsichord, the Italian Concerto, in the style of the Italian masters whose works served as Bach's models. Alessandrini also supplies the missing violin solo part for Benedetto Marcello's Concerto on this disc. It all comes off so well because the works here are wonderful examples of their genre and because of the marvelous playing of the expert period instrument group, Concerto Italiano, whose playing here is beyond praise. Highlights abound: the surprising staccato movements of the Marcello Violin Concerto, the exquisite playing of oboe soloist Andrea Mion in brother Alessandro Marcello's Oboe Concerto, the zippy Vivaldi Op. 3 No. 11 Concerto for four violins, and the fantasy-filled version of Vivaldi's "La Notte" Flute Concerto among them. A disc full of endless delights. --Dan Davis

Reviving Dead Guys.......2004-11-24

The Baroque era? Just a bunch of dead guys' dead music. It was three centuries ago, for example, that Bach transcribed some Venetian violin concertos into works for solo harpsichord. (Big deal.) But what if you reversed the process? What if you turned Bach's harpsichord piece "after the Italian taste" into a violin concerto and restored the lost violin parts of some of Bach's transcriptions? Presto, you'd have some brand-new Baroque music, thematically arranged.
Concerto Italiano and its director, Rinaldo Alessandrini, have done just that -- and created marvels. Listen for the use of staccato and silence in the two slow movements of Benedetto Marcello's second Concerti a cinque; the contrast between the serene Adagio and the festive Presto in his brother Alessandro's exquisite oboe concerto; and the second of Vivaldi's amazingly innovative flute concertos, with its creepy "Night" and hypnotic "Sleep" sections.
In 2003, Gramophone declared that Concerto Italiano's version of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons was the finest ever recorded. The pristine Naive Classique recording of Concerti Italiani will similarly raise your spirits -- along with those of a few dead guys.

Superbly Realized Venetian Concerti Bach Had Transcribed.......2004-08-24

This is an astoundingly beautiful disc. The idea is simple, although no one had done it before: record several of the original Venetian concerti that Bach transcribed for his own use, most often for him to play at the keyboard. And then for fun: reconstruct a putative orchestral 'original' for Bach's famous solo harpsichord 'Italian Concerto,' whose original is either lost or possibly never existed; it's possible Bach simply wrote a harpsichord piece in the Italian style and called it 'Italian Concerto'. In the latter case, Rinaldo Alessandrini wrote a violin concerto based on the 'Italian Concerto,' supplying 'missing' orchestral parts. Whatever you think of the idea, it comes off beautifully. Further, Alessandrini's Concerto Italiano (how apt that this group is playing these Italian concerti!) favor us with spectacularly impeccable playing and astounding verve and energy.

There are some especially winning moments in this disc. There is the third movement (Adagio e staccato) of Benedetto Marcello's violin concerto in E minor whose staccato accompaniment limns a countermelody whose chords are played in triplicate thus: ff ppp p. What a striking and effective idea! Then one must mention oboist Andrea Mion's subtlety in Marcello's brother Alessandro's Oboe Concerto in D minor. The whole of Vivaldi's 'La Notte' 'concerto for diverse instruments' in G minor. And, finally, the tasteful reconstruction of Bach's Italian Concerto as a violin concerto, whose superimposed lines of counterpoint add, rather than subtract, from Bach's harpsichord original.

All in all, this is an extraordinarily attractive disc and I recommend it unreservedly.

Worthy of the Widest Attention.......2005-09-17

This is a superb reconstruction and performance of how 6 of Weiss's lute concerti might have sounded. Richard Stone is an accomplished master of the lute as well as historically informed baroque music performance, now director of his own ensemble "Tempesta di Mare". Anyone interested in baroque lute or baroque concerti should give serious audition to this enjoyable recording.
