The English Concert

Andrew Manze, leading The English Concert in their second recording together, demonstrates the electrifying, spontaneous style of playing which has made him one of the hottest properties on the classical music scene. This programme brings together for the first time a reconstruction of six violin concertos from the manuscript which Vivaldi presented to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI in 1728. A royal treat indeed!

Europa Galante, Fabio Biondi

Europa Galante’s tribute to Vivaldi, which sees them perform his concertos, led by its founder Fabio Biondi. This special luxury limited-edition set incorporates Europa’s Galante’s first ever recording after being founded by Biondi. It met with instant critical acclaim and was awarded the Premio Cini in Venice and the ‘Choc du Monde de la Musique’. Europa Galante was born in 1990 from the desire of its artistic director Fabio Biondi to form an Italian instrumental ensemble to play the Baroque and Classical repertory on period instruments.

Vivaldi: In Furore, Laudate Pueri e Concerti Sacri

In furore iustissimae irae, RV626

Concerto in D minor for violin, organ & strings RV541

Laudate pueri, RV601

for soprano, flute, 2 oboes, 2 violins, alto and continuo

Concerto No. 4 in F major for violin, strings and harpsichord ‘Per la solennità di San Lorenzo' RV286

Sandrine Piau (soprano)

“'In furore is the ideal score for any soprano who's spoiling for a fight – with herself!' So says Sandrine Piau in the booklet, and she could have added that it also makes a superb opener for any disc. The motet could have been made for a singer of Piau's avian lightness and agility, and sure enough she throws herself into it, bringing to it her usual precision and, with a technique that enables plenty of dazzling extra ornaments, winning personality.
With her energy and imagination, Piau manages to find contrast in the work, not just between its fearful opening movement and more penitential second, but on a local scale as well. In the Laudate pueri, an altogether more urbane offering, she sings with poise, expressive sophistication and tonal power. Piau's quickness of mind is matched by the orchestral playing of Accademia Bizantina, whose sound, typically for an Italian group, is deliciously grainy, allowing for an alert and intense approach to interpretative detail. Thus they never fail to enhance the mood of a particular number, a skill which they also put to good use in the disc's three orchestral works..” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010
