5.0 out of 5 stars extraordinary
In all my (many) years of collecting Vivaldi I have never encountered such an extraordinarily detailed recording AND performance, which has opened my ears and mind to new and unexpected aspects of this wildly inventive composer's works.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flat Vivaldi
IGA is one of my favorite ensembles of baroque music, and I own several recordings with Mr. Coin. The recorded sound is excellent, and the sound and texture of the orchestra is superb.

3 stars? A few movements are a tad slow for my taste, which with IGA, is unusual. What I took the stars away for, however, is for Mr. Vivaldi... these, as a collection, aren't...

This review is from: Vivaldi: Concerti per violoncello I (Vivaldi Edition) (Audio CD)
IGA is one of my favorite ensembles of baroque music, and I own several recordings with Mr. Coin. The recorded sound is excellent, and the sound and texture of the orchestra is superb.

3 stars? A few movements are a tad slow for my taste, which with IGA, is unusual. What I took the stars away for, however, is for Mr. Vivaldi... these, as a collection, aren't his strongest musical contributions. There is a reason I've never heard some of these concertos before; they're not his greatest.

The 2 CDs released by Dieltiens on HMundi are superior... excellent performances, and better concertos in terms of the musical material.

You will likely enjoy this, however, if you're a Il Giardino Armonico fan, or a fan of Chrisophe Coin on the cello.
