Il Giardino Armonico / Antonini / Faust / Music by Antonio Vivaldi
Although today Antonio Vivaldi is best known for the Four Seasons, in the 18th century, the collection L'estro armonico became famous as one of the most influential instrumental pieces of music of the time. Published in 1711, the series of 12 concertos met with great acclaim, and the composer immediately became a significant figure on the international scene. The very accurate title also shows that the composer was aware of the momentous nature of the work. Undoubtedly, we are dealing with Vivaldi's brilliant vision.
This is Vivaldi at his best: lively and brilliant, reaching for extended cantilenas, written with a wonderful sense of pure joy of music-making, spontaneity, a sense of mutual fun and ensemble play. When properly interpreted, the relentless and growing energy of these concertos is reminiscent of the morning sun wandering across a room – and this is precisely the kind of interpretation we can expect from Il Giardino Armonico and Isabelle Faust as soloist.
