ANTONIO VIVALDI
Vivaldi x2²
La Serenissima, Adrian Chandler
[ Signum / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 2 August 2024
A follow up to their album, 'Vivaldi X2', this new offering from baroque specialists La Serenissima combines further double concerti by Antonio Vivaldi with works for violin, cello, oboe, recorder and continuo. The previous album received rave reviews including Recording of the Month from BBC Music Magazine. These are some of Vivaldi's most colourful and joyful works, and with director Adrian Chandler at the helm, listeners can look forward to further baroque excellence from this dynamic ensemble.
"La Serenissima offers an appealing conspectus of Vivaldi's colourfully instrumental palette." BBC Music
"When it comes to explosively vibrant album-opening chords, it takes some doing to top the Red-Bull-meets-fireworks-show shot of musical adrenalin served up each time by Adrian Chandler and La Serenissima" Gramophone Editor's Choice Oct 2024
"after being obsessed by the composer and his musical world for more than 30 years, Chandler by now is almost Vivaldi incarnate...The playing style is forthright without being strident, and the notes are dispatched without the quirky additions (folksy improvisations, stamped feet) beloved of free spirits such as Nigel Kennedy."
