Bartok / Kodaly / Scottish Chamber Orchestra - Bartok & Kodaly - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vivaldi's Concerti Ripieni are probably the most unusual works written by the Venetian composer. Some of these pieces, however, are particularly exceptional for various reasons, especially considering the artistic environment in early 18th century Venice. This recording presents Vivaldi's most brilliant and at the same time bizarre works from this genre. These compositional experiments are sometimes quite extreme and far ahead of their time, such as the enigmatic Concerto Conca, the solemn Sinfonia Al Santo Sepolcro, the avant-garde and at the same time archaic Concerto Alla Rustica. This recording is the first collaboration of the Academia Montis Regalis with Enrico Onofri as principal conductor.

Antonio Vivaldi's L'Estro Armonico, Op. 3, Concerto No. 8 in A Minor for two violins and strings, RV 522 performed by Camerata Academica Würzburg with Hans Reinarzt conducting.
