Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Despite the respect and love which Baroque music fans feel for Vivaldi, he still has a reputation as something of a lightweight--a composer of entertaining little concertos of great charm but little depth. This disc contains only a single work in a major key, the remaining pieces all being minor key works of great seriousness and emotional depth. The Sonata and the Sinfonia are two versions of what is basically the same work. The subtitle "At the Holy Sepulcher" points to the music's quite extraordinary intensity of feeling. It's also fascinating to hear the composer working with the same material two different ways--as a solo piece, and then in an arrangement for orchestra. This is a very rewarding disc. --David Hurwitz

The seven Concerti per Mandolini are diverse enough to disprove the frequently heard accusation that all Vivaldi concertos sound alike. Though they are cast in the same three-movement structure, each has its own character, from playful, ingratiating charm to ardor, high drama, and lamentatious intensity. The fast movements are stately and brilliant with scintillating running passages; the slow ones are songful, pleading, and melancholy. Though at times Vivaldi succumbs to his predilection for sequences, these pieces have an incredible variety of tonality, mood, and color, employing a large number of instruments in many arresting combinations; the final one requires 17 instruments. In addition to the solo mandolins, there are standard and unusual strings and winds, including such rarities as chalumeaux, theorbo, viole all'inglese, and violini in tromba marina. The performances, at lowered pitch, are splendid throughout: brilliant in the fast, virtuosic movements, perfect in intonation and balance, pure in sound, invariably expressive, often passionate. The players use vibrato sparingly and add elegant ornamentation and cadenzas. Biondi, director and concertmaster, has a wonderfully sweet tone and leads without dominating the group. One cavil: the musicians get louder on all ascending passages and softer on all descending ones, and they make a long pause before every final note. This approach may be stylistically "authentic," but it becomes an annoying mannerism through overuse and exaggeration. --Edith Eisler

5 out of 5 stars Finally, Fast Enough!!!!.......2007-02-17

The Concerto for Diverse Instruments (called Two Mandolins on this CD) a piece that I had an old LP of with Bernstein & the NY Philharmonic, but until now, no one has really played it with the speed and spirit that old LP recording had. I really do recommend this CD and also will be buying more of Fabio Biondi's materials as time goes on. While he's no Bernstein, his work on this particular piece surpasses that of the great master!

4 out of 5 stars Study in Color.......2006-03-25

Admittedly I bought this CD because it was the only recording of RV 558 that I could find in Hong kong. This is one of the most bizarre concerti grosso that has ever been composed; it is scored for 2 violini in trombe marina, 2 recorders, 2 mandolins, 2 chalemeaux, 2 theorbos and cello, in addition to strings and continuo (performed here on harpsichord). Clearly Vivaldi wanted to make a splash with this piece and he threw in everything in the back closet; the alternation of tone colors is really amazing.

A word about these instruments, working backwards. The theorbo is an obsolete but astonishingly lovely member of the lute family; it's something like a cross between a harp (with 8 unfretted bass strings that can sound only a single note) and a twelve string guitar (with 6 pairs of fretted strings) but pitched low--the upper two strings are not considerably higher than the two strings below them, which makes for ease of fingering but limits the upper range. The chalemeaux are precursors of the clarinet and are aurally difficult to distinguish from their progeny. Mandolins are plucked/strummed stringed instruments with 4 pairs of strings tuned like a violin, and these instruments were most likely played by violinists. The violins in trombe marina are somewhat controversial; Europa Galante come down firmly on the side of the score that these are essentially regular violins fixed with an asymmetric bridge which causes a sort of buzzing or rattling sound rather similar to the buzziness of the harpsichord, oddly enough, and which was thought to imitate the sound of the obsolete and incredibly bizarre tromba marina. But other scholars have argued that the parts were meant for performance on actual trombe marina. The "Sea Trumpet" was in fact a stringed instrument thought to sound like a trumpet but be more agile (trumpets in those times did not have valves and so had a very limited pitch choice--they were essentially bugles.). It has only a single melodic string, rather long, but up to 50 strings that resonate with sympathetic vibration with the melodic string. To make things even more curious, only harmonics were played on the instrument, throwing the intonation of certain pitches completely out of the norm. The tromba marina gets its name in part because it was said to be heard best at a distance, as over a body of water. I can testify that this is true--it's really a hideous sound that you wouldn't want to hear close up, something like a viola being scratched against a chalkboard. It's hard for me to believe that Vivaldi really composed this piece not just for one tromba marina, but for two; beyond the horror of the noise lies the fact that the parts probably aren't even close to possible on the tromba marina, but lie perfectly well on the violin.

At any rate, the piece is about color in a way that probably no one other than Bach conceived of for a very long time. And herein lies my complaint (a minor one); the performance is lovely, but I sometimes find the harpsichord overwhelming. It's especially difficult to hear the theorbos--they're so low; and to distinguish the violins in trombe marina sometimes--they match the harpsichord sound too much. Granted, in the Concerto RV 555, the two harpsichords are solo instruments and should be treated as such. But how RV 558 would flourish with less harpsichord--it would be such a treat.

At any rate, these are all delightful pieces, really some of Vivaldi at his best if you're tired of the Four Seasons, and certainly worthwhile performances.

5 out of 5 stars Vivaldi and Europa Galante Make a Joyful Noise.......2004-04-27

As all reviewers on this page seem to agree, the first order of business is to jettison the old saw that Vivaldi wrote the same concerto 500 times. Certainly he can be faulted, as he always will, for falling back on too-obvious formulae (those oft-cited repeated sequences of his), but as for sounding alike: Just try the jovial, gallant first movement of RV 425 for solo mandolin and follow it with the somber, near-tragic opening of RV 319 for violin, oboes, and bassoon. Next, give RV 558 a spin; how different the grand, heroic sweep of this first movement!

Now that we've disposed of the chestnut about the sameness of the concerti, we can talk about the performances of Biondi and Europa Galante. I find them enthrallingly virtuosic in the Bach-like noodlings required of the two violins and two cellos in RV 564, a truly captivating work reminiscent, for me, of the Third Brandenburg. On the other hand, Biondi captures perfectly the sober mood of RV 319, where sentiment overrules virtuosity.

The two concertos for mandolins (RV 532 and RV 425) are some of Vivaldi's most genial, and they emerge with the right sense of dash and wit, while the two concerti RV 558 and RV 555 for "molti strumenti" make a grand noise, especially those raspy, rattling violini in tromba marina! On the other hand, the recorders, chalumeaux, theorbos, and cellos add a tenderness and grace in their solos that balance out the acerbity of these strange instruments. RV 555 increases the stereophonic effects with two harpsichords and with three violins against two viole all'inglese and the aforementioned cellos. In all, it's a remarkable sound world Vivaldi created in these two works, like nothing else in the concerto literature, and the virtuosi of Europa Galante make the music sound every bit as important as it should.

The recording, made in a church, is both close-up and highly reverberant, which takes a little getting used to, but once the ear adjusts, it reveals the dividends paid by the close miking. The solos all emerge with crystal clarity and timbral purity, while the ensemble playing is detailed and analytical without being clinical, thanks to that reverb. Though the recording tends to highlight the high end of things, it is probably true to the big, bright sound picture Vivaldi "saw" when he conducted his all-girl orchestra at the Ospedale della Pieta.

An exciting CD indeed.

5 out of 5 stars Who says baroque stuff can't be electrifying?.......2004-01-13

This is one of the most encouraging and exciting discs in 2002! After a few hours of Vivaldi listening, one often gets the impression that he spinned out new concerti by applying the same formula - they all sound vaguely the same, after all. Vivaldi fatigue I call it. That's all the more why we need a disc like this: Biondi and his superb Europa Galante show that Vivaldi concerti can be full of surprises and excitement, and extremely colourful writings. These are readings of high drama and strong emotions, it's hard to imagine anybody not moved by the sheer energy level and dedication. Concerto RV 576 gets a superb airing especially.

5 out of 5 stars - Biondi is still surprising- Grâce à Pisendel.......2003-02-14

At first, I had to be convinced. I have to admit it was long. Now it's done. Well done.
Fabio Biondi is at his best in the "Concerto en sol mineur" (dédié à Pisendel(RV 319)". In "Concerto en ut majeur" (RV 558), Jean-Christophe Spinosi (do you know him and his ensemble "Matheus" (Naive)) was able to gave more surrealistic moments. But the Europa Galante version is very interesting.

I give Biondi credits to let the other members of his "formidable" Europa Galante free to play like it was some "concertos grossos". A very good CD full of vitality. Virgin Veritas does it better than it was the case in the concertos grossos of Scarlatti (father and son.)Better sound. Biondi is a great virtuose. I am waiting for his next challenge. Vivaldi again ?

    4 out of 5 stars Great Vivaldi.......2005-08-12

    One of the best compilations of Vivaldi I have heard. To the best of my knowledge, this disc is not available in my country

    5 out of 5 stars The best of Vivaldi.......2003-09-21

    This is an outstanding recording. Once you hear it you'll wish you'd learned of it years earlier. "The Four Seasons" will bore you after you'd enjoyed this utterly delightful recording. Vivaldi reached his peak of skill in these mandolin concertos and the performance and technical recording are superb. I ordered 10 copies to give to my best friends, to share the pleasure....

    5 out of 5 stars hiro.......2001-02-26

    My last girlfriend like this. Anyway,I love this music,Vivaldi's mandolin concerto. Indeed,I know another recording more better, but I like this recording its clearly reemarging Vivaldi's passion.Thanks anyway.

    5 out of 5 stars Scimone's Mandolins the best.......2001-01-09

    I'll spare you longwinded discussion and cut to the chase.

    This is quite simply the most delightful recording of these concertos I have ever encountered in 30+ years of listening to and collecting recorded music.

    I am glad to see it is still in Erato's active catalog.

    5 out of 5 stars The Vivaldi Mandolin Concerti.......2000-05-03

    I first listened to the I Solisti Veneti ensemble playing Vivaldi, conducted by Claudio Scimone, about 15 years ago, and this particular recording has during that time remained one of my favorites of all music.

    The violin concerto discordato with the lovely passacaglia is beyond description. The second movement played duo coro with violin and cello is unforgettable.

    No Vivaldi collection is complete without this recording.

    5 out of 5 stars Nice programme, good lively performances........2007-03-13

    This is a very well played selection from the Sammartini brothers' music with a nice contrast in alternating between Guiseppe's deft concertos and Giovanni's more delicate sinfonias. Ensemble 415 give a gutsy satisfying perfomance. This is the best disc I know of from the HM Music D'Abord series.

    5 out of 5 stars Worthy of the Widest Attention.......2005-09-17

    This is a superb reconstruction and performance of how 6 of Weiss's lute concerti might have sounded. Richard Stone is an accomplished master of the lute as well as historically informed baroque music performance, now director of his own ensemble "Tempesta di Mare". Anyone interested in baroque lute or baroque concerti should give serious audition to this enjoyable recording.

    5 out of 5 stars Tomaso Albinoni.......2006-08-18

    This was my first CD of music produced by Albinoni, and I was quite pleased. I first discovered Albinoni while listening to my local classical station. After hearing a fantastic Baroque piece, I jotted down the name of the composer and looked him up later. Albinoni's music is wonderful, especially if you are a fan of the classic Baroque style (as I am). This CD contains a superb collection of oboe concerti which rival any oboe pieces I have ever heard. Wonderful in your car, at the office, or just relaxing at home with a good book. Very nice collection!

    5 out of 5 stars Albinoni: Oboe Concerti, Vol. 2 ~ Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni.......2005-03-18

    Albinoni was a contemporary of the better known JS Bach and in my opinion he is not as good as Bach but compared to modern composers he is quite accomplished. The oboe is a very sensual instrument and when one hears this it can easily lead to various states of emotionality. Albinoni does this quite well and the Naxos recording does this masterfull composer justice with a quite accomplished recording. Anthony Camden is a very skilled oboist and he brings the music to life and is an interesting read from what I read in the well-written booklet that comes with the music. This is a recording that I highly recommend and it is truly a pleasure to listen and experince should a fine recording.

    5 out of 5 stars Everything is recommendable........2004-03-02

    Those who want to hear what other composers were doing during Bach and Handel's time should snap up some of the many CDs featuring the works of Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni in the Naxos catalogue. His oboe concerti are collected on three Naxos CDs. The works are charming, mellifluous and engaging. They are also amongst the first extended series of concerti written for oboe soloist with orchestra.

    Everything is recommendable in Volume 2 of the Naxos series: oboist Anthony Camden and the London Virtuosi provide polished, neat performances, the sound is natural, and the liner notes by Michael Talbot are fully informative.

    Excellent performance and high quality recording. Arrived in great shape and in a very short time. I'm quite pleased.

    5 out of 5 stars Another winner in the Vivaldi cello series.......2005-12-12

    This is volume 1 of a 4-volume set on the Naxos label comprising all of Vivaldi's 27 cello concertos. I have only heard volumes 1 and 2, so cannot fairly evaluate 3 and 4 yet, but I can tell you that the first two volumes are terrific performances of this wonderful music. Vivaldi was very inventive in writing these, so they never seem repetitive, and the good blend of tempos keeps them from seeming either too hurried or too sedate. Raphael Wallfisch on solo cello performs with enthusiasm and precision, yet always tastefully in accord with how the music was written. The recording quality is very good too, warm and well-balanced. If you trust the writers of the Penguin Guide as I do to rate classical recordings, they sum up their attitude to all 4 volumes of these recordings with the statement: "a remarkable achievement, standing very high in the Vivaldi discography," and give their very highest "Rosette" rating to volume 3.

    5 out of 5 stars Masterful performances of gorgeous pieces........1999-02-16

    All four volumes of these twenty-seven Vivaldi cello concerti are masterfully and sensitively performed. The style of Vivaldi pours through the flawless playing of both the orchestra and soloists. The tempi chosen for each movement seem to bring out the most in the music--never too slow and never too fast. Although all four volumes are beautiful, the second volume contains prime examples of Vivaldi's style--that relentlessly tense and elegant rush. The Double Cello Concerto in G minor, RV 531, recalls the urgency of Vivaldi's first movement in his "Winter" concerto, except here, two cellos perfectly contending with the orchestra give this piece more material and substance to listen to. The slow movement that follows is gorgeous, giving way to the relatively joyful ending. On the same volume, the Concerto in C minor, RV 401, also gives a beautiful glimpse at Vivaldi's unmistakable style. The works in the other three volumes do not really match the intensity and delicacy of the pieces in the second volume--especially the double cello concerto; however, all four volumes, each at such a humble price, are golden additions to the collection of those who love Vivaldi's music.

    4 out of 5 stars Vivaldi's Variety.......2007-01-18

    This disc gives the lie to the cliche that Vivaldi wrote the same concerto six hundred times. This isn't simply a matter of the great variety of instruments serving as soloiists (one concerto boasts a group of soloists including a violin, two hunting horns, two oboes, and timpani!). In Fabio Biondi, Vivaldi finds a performer and conductor whose own inventiveness complements that of the composer's. The spaciousness of the recording adds to the alluring sounds produced by Europa Galante, even in the all-strings concerto for four violins (not the familiar B minor Concerto that Bach transcribed in his Concerto for Four Harpsichords, but an equally arresting work.) All in all an exuberant and entertaining disc, although even with such variety I can only enjoy Vivaldi one concerto per hearing.

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2006-07-15

    Europa Galante is amazing they have elevated my spirits to new high. All you need to do is listen to the first track and you will be sold. I am now looking at other CD by Europa Galante and will have to visit one of their concerts one day. I don't know too much about Classical music but the greats and the stuff most people listen to. Well, they played the greats (Vivaldi) but it sounds so much greater and much more fun. If you want a burst of energy this is the CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Super Ka-Pow Fun Time Happy Maximum Diversion.......2005-12-07

    RV 569 has been a favorite ever since I received an ASMF recording of it as a child. Biondi and company give it an exhilarating performance, one that will take your breath away. They still manage to sound very sweet, even when they have you on the edge of your seat. The quality of the recording is excellent, although I rather enjoyed the more "spacious" recorded sound of The King's Consort performing the same repertoire on Hyperion with almost identical forces. Both recordings possess a distinctly different ambience. One listen to RV 566 should persuade any music lover of this new release's merits. Europa Galante's woodwinds are delightfully sonorous and the continuo is prominently plucky and varied nicely in a dramatic fashion. Although it might seem uncharacteristic of Biondi's reputation as a maniac, he often utilizes understatement and simplicity to enhance the music's rhythmic vitality and it works especially well here. This release is obviously a must have for anyone who buys these sorts of recordings, but it's also very accessible music that would make an ideal gift for a child or perhaps someone just getting into music. This release is not beyond criticism, however lovely it may be. There are a few brief spots where the solo playing isn't "technically" perfect, but it doesn't necessarily detract from the enjoyment of the performances.

      My favorite recording, I first purchased it on vinyl, now have it on CD. Perhaps, as another reviewer said, it is a bit overromantic, but I find it a joy, it soothes my soul.

      2 out of 5 stars painfully romantic playing of baroque masterpieces.......2002-04-06

      One does not have to play on gut strings with no vibrato to give a decent performance of a baroque violin concerto. But when two performers as talented as Zuckerman and Stern make not a single concession to the stylistic necessities of early music, it becomes a painful listening experience. They slog through these pieces with wide, impassioned vibrato and huge sound, and it simply doesn't work. The tempi are slow, the orchestra is a bit sloppy, and the overall effect is like watching a hippo in a mud bath. Absolutely no stylistic integrity. Skip this one.

      5 out of 5 stars Technique and passion blended brilliantly.......2000-08-11

      A beautiful album that you will deeply enjoy. The second track is particularly lovely. The two performers complement each other perfectly. This is an album for both the classical music collector, and also a perfect gift for someone you would like to introduce to classical music.
