Isabella Longo, Enrico Casazza, Raffaello Negri (violin), Mauricio Naddeo (violoncello) L'estro armonico, Fabio Biondi (violin and direction) “No other set of Vivaldi's concertos contains the sheer variety on display in L'estro armonico. The catalogue has seldom been without a decent recording of these ceaselessly fascinating works, though none begins to approach this version in respect of fantasy and exuberance. Fabio Biondi and his Italian ensemble, Europa Galante, bring something entirely fresh and vital to oft-performed repertoire, illuminating well-trodden paths with affective articulation and eloquently voiced inflexions. Not all of their extravagant, Mediterranean gestures, perhaps, will find favour with listeners; indeed, some of Biondi's own embellishments can be a little inapposite. Tempos are well chosen, by and large, and ensemble is clear-textured and evenly balanced. The continuo group, which includes harpsichord, organ, archlute and Baroque guitar, makes an important contribution to the overall success.
This music is wonderful stuff, rejuvenating and immensely satisfying.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Enrico Baiano (harpsichord, François-Étienne Blanchet, 1733, copy by Olivier Fadini) Rec.date: 2000 (formerly available from Symphonia) With the publication of L’Estro Armonico, Op. 3 (1711) and La Stravaganza Op. 4 (1716) Antonio Vivaldi made his mark on European music, as one of the most creative minds of the early 18th century. The manuscript containing transcriptions from these sources is preserved at the Manchester Central Library and is entitled “Collection of harpsichord solos and songs – Ann Dawson’s book”. In addition to 12 concertos by Vivaldi, it contains sonatas, suites, toccatas and arias for high voice and continuo by various authors (not all identified) for a total of 41 compositions. The collection was probably compiled during the first two decades of the 18th century. Nothing is known about the compiler or compilers, nor is anything known about the mysterious Ann Dawson, who, judging from the technical and expressive level required by the compositions, was most likely a player with more than modest capabilities. Enrico Baiano is cofounder of the Italian ensemble Cappella della Pietà dei Turchini, with whom he has played and recorded from 1986 to 2000. His solo recordings for Symphonia – the present recording was formerly available from the Italian label – have won him several international prizes such as Deutsche Schallplattenpreis, Diapason d’Or, and Choc de la Musique. He is professor of harpsichord, clavichord and fortepiano at the Conservatorio Domenico Cimarosa in Avellino. | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days.

| |  | Vivaldi - The Great Concertos
Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Paul Dyer “This was definitely one of the top discs this month. The ABO always gets good reviews in these
pages, which reflects the consistently high levels of performance. Here they showcase the talents of
several of their players…in the company of some top performers (Libby Wallfisch is stunning in Il
grosso mogul). The CD also includes something of a novelty – a re-working by one of the ABO’s
cellists of Vivaldi’s concerto for two violins as a concerto for violin and cello…Another triumph for
Paul Dyer and his team.” Brian Clark, Early Music Review | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
