This review is from: Europe Baroque [Box Set] (Audio CD)

The disc I was most taken with is the Vivaldi Flute and Cello concertos. Each is played with just nine players, or less.

The flute works are superb, the cello works played the best you could imagine. I don't know if the cello concertos are anyone's top, there are a number of cello works elsewhere. RV 424 stands out.

The La Tempesta di Mare for flute and strings is the best I have ever heard. A fast tempo, very tight band. I have five other recordings of the same tracks.

The continuo has both harpsichord and organ, as needed.

One of my top 5 Baroque discs.

The discs all have their own case, you can file then any way you like. I threw out the wrapper box.
