This recently released album is somewhat daring, and not because of the weird dead-living contrast still life cover design. It isn’t ‘yet another Vivaldi album’, either. It puts in contrast some of Vivaldi’s virtuoso violin concertos with newly commissioned virtuoso violin pieces by Italian composers, as to show what virtuoso playing meant mid-18th century vs what it means in the present. Then there the cover makes some sense… In addition there’s some special effects version of Vivaldi’s La Tempesta di Mare which made me startle… Listen at your own risk…

One of the great violinists in the tradition of the 19th and early 20th century plays wonderful small encore pieces… In him I hear my grandfather who played the violin and adored Fritz Kreisler…

I had a listen earlier in the week. I had to turn it off. It was a bit “avant garde” for me at the time.

I’ll have another go later.
