Alexis Kossenko (flute & direction) Arte dei Suonatori Vivaldi’s flute concertos form a still badly defined and little known corpus. Between incomplete concertos, transcriptions [including some by Graupner] or revisions, trios or quartets equally called ‘concertos’, apocryphal pages, recently rediscovered works, those still missing but known through catalogues, the ambiguity in the use of the recorder or the flute (maintained by present day exponents), it is rather difficult to have a precise idea of the number of concertos the Venetian devoted to the flauto traversier. Six of them, however, had the good fortune to be published, and have reached us, whether in concerts or on disc. Director and flautist, Alexis Kossenko distinguishes himself once again, after his success with CPE Bach’s flute concertos. “as a demonstration of the subtle and resourceful range of Vivaldi's imagination as applied within the limitations of a set format, this is an ideal selection...in their astute, flexible and attractive musicianship they miss few tricks, allowing Vivaldi to emerge as a more sensitive artist than many might have thought...Definitely an enhancement to the Vivaldi discography.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Vivaldi: Concertos and Chamber Music
“None of the pieces is new to the catalogue, but the playing is of a calibre that might entice readers to consider these alternative versions. The two largest works are the Concerto for two cellos and strings in G minor, and another, in D major, for two violins, two cellos and strings.
Both fare well in the hands of sensitive performers such as these, and especially enjoyable is the beautifully inflected playing of the two solo cellists in the G minor work.
Albert Brüggen is an excellent cellist, and here (alongside partner Juris Teichmanis) he fulfils expectation raised by previous discs. Vivaldi wrote two concertos for pairs of solo violins and cellos; the other is RV575 – and both are satisfying pieces with beguiling slow movements. Melodically, this one gives pride of place to a solo violin in its centrally placed Largo, but one should nevertheless be allowed to hear more of the solo cello than is granted by this performance. The rhythmic élan of the finale is quite exhilarating. The two remaining concertos feature a recorder. One, RV436, is scored for transverse flute with strings, though a descant recorder has been substituted here. The other, RV108, is a chamber concerto for treble recorder, two violins and continuo. The soloist in each is Danya Segal, who brings the music to life with fluency and unpretentious eloquence.
An attractive menu is completed by two strongly contrasting sonatas which, in their quite different ways, demonstrate Vivaldi's craftsmanship and invention in the medium.
This disc makes rewarding listening. The pieces have been chosen with real discernment and are played with virtuosity and an effective understanding of style.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | | This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor.
