“Here is Vivaldi-playing with a commendably light, athletic touch…these performances inspire the music with expressive delicacy and rhythmic vitality… The programme is a colourful one of concertos for a variety of instruments, wind and strings, in various combinations. “The slow movements are magnificent throughout, informed with heartbreaking intimacy and a true spirit of improvisation, and the wonderful solo playing will thrill both Vivaldi aficionados and the best sound systems.” -Laurence Vittes, CI Classical Review With this record, they have jumped the queue! The recording? In a word, stunning!” -Anthony Kershaw, Audiophilia “The Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra have been creeping quietly into the upper echelon of period instrument orchestras. “A many splendored recording.” - The New York Times
