This review is from: Boccherini, Vivaldi, Couperin, Haydn: Cello Concertos (Audio CD)

I got this cd for the interpretation of the Vivaldi concerto, which is not really RV 409 as Amazon notes, but rather the cello sonata RV 40, which was transcribed into a larger scale concerto by Vincent d'Indy in the early 20th century. Fournier's interpretation of Vivaldi is very satisfying and I enjoy listening to his mastery.
The sound quality is extremely high and to be expected from the Testament label.
