A new instalment of Guglielmo's recording cycle of the complete Opus
number 1‐12 by Vivaldi: the 12 violin concertos Op. 9, known as "La
Cetra", dedicated to Charles VI, the holy Roman Emperor of the Hapsburg
empire.
As in the other concerto cycles "L'Estro Armonico", "La Stravaganza" and
the 4 Seasons, these concertos abound in virtuoso writing for the soloist
and brilliant melodic invention, in vocal italianate style, foreboding the
classical style of the first Viennese School.
The Vivaldi cycle by L'Arte dell'Arco and violinist/conductor Federico
Guglielmo is considered one of the most exciting in years.
