With this new release, L’Arte dell’Arco complete their survey of the concertos and sonatas Opp. 1-12 which spread the fame of Antonio Vivaldi across Europe thanks to their publication by Etienne Roger in Amsterdam. These final two sets were published in 1729, 18 years after the L’estro armonico collection Op.2 had created a sensation with their unprecedented brilliance of solo writing, rhythmic vivacity and originality of disposition between solo and accompaniment.
Federico Guglielmo contributes a scholarly note to the booklet, in which study of the manuscripts have uncovered new contexts to these concertos. Although it is uncertain how much Vivaldi supervised their publication, and to what degree they are compilations of earlier work, the concertos bear the hallmarks of the fully mature composer. By this time in his full maturity, Vivaldi was highly receptive to the appeal of the new galant taste, enriched by his experience with opera, and sensitive to discussion with acclaimed composers such as Leonardo Vinci, Nicola Porpora and Leonardo Leo. Two of them were likely written for one Anna Maria, a student of particular virtuoso abilities at the Ospedale della Pieta where Vivaldi was the long-serving music master. The final concerto of Op.11 was originally conceived as an oboe concerto, and in that form is presented here.

Antonio Vivaldi is my favorite composer that ever lived in this world and was a leader of musicians.
-
Vivaldi lived in 1600s, even little earlier than Bach, while Mozart and Beethoven etc lived centuries after him. It pisses me a lot to find that he doesn't get the credit he deserves. Classical music especially in Europe is highly interconnected and learned from each other which ultimately makes Vivaldi one of the fathers!. He, at least, deserves to be in the top 3.

It never stops to amaze me that a bunch of combined rhythmic different frequencies that vibrate the air can have a such in impact on our souls and emotions. Makes me question if that isn't the most fundamental core of our existence.
