Music : Vivaldi: Six Double Concertos
Rating: 
- clear but full recording, Marriner at his best vivaldi form
I have disliked more of Marriner and the ASMF's Vivaldi than I have liked. The fabulous La Stravaganza recording on Decca from 1975 has thus far been the only one of the Academy's vivaldi recordings that I haven't sold on - it is actually an essential Vivaldi purchase in many ways.
Additionally, now, this wonderful more recent recording of a selection of outstanding double concertos by the Venetian master.
It is the finest double Mandolin concerto recording I know. I have heard excellent other period instrument renditions, but somehow the sprightly use of a modern instrument orchestra, but without the over-gloss of many I Musici and ASMF recordings, gives this concerto a greater weight but still with bounce - it's wonderful, really.
Similarly with the other concertos on this wonderful bargain disk - all superbly, competitively played, without vivaldian routine, and highly recommended at any price, with excellent warm but clear early digital sound.
