"This is not Mullova's first excursion into the period-instrument world but it is certainly her most successful: a thrilling coming-together of a top ensemble and a violinist of spectacular virtuosity (and the taste to direct that virtuosity to best effect). As so often with Vivaldi concertos there are discoveries aplenty to be made." (Gramophone)
NOTE: outer cardboard cover has some slight wear
