The baroque spirit in all his musical shapes. The two latest editions of Naïve label’s grand project The Vivaldi Edition: arias and cantatas for alto by Delphine Galou and Accademia Bizantina conducted by Ottavio Dantone.
Miraculously, the Turin National Library could purchase an extraordinary collection of autographs – approximately 450 handwritings – by Antonio Vivaldi. An extremely important source to learn more about Vivaldi’s religious music and operas, as many of these works were/are still unknown. In the meantime, an ambitious project ‘The Vivaldi Edition’ is releasing all this music on CD. In this hour, we will play a large part of the 2 latest CDs, volumes 59 and 60.
