I haven’t heard this one in a while. It’s almost like hearing it for the first time. Thank you! Later Vivaldi works are so spontaneous, and everything in the solo violin sounds improvised. I always wondered where he might have gone if he had lived a few decades longer.

Good comment. However, I wonder if it is appropriate to call Vivaldi's late style as a real improvisation.
@ I would love to know how Vivaldi wrote. There are accounts of him having sudden ideas and leaving while saying mass, but whether he wrote down improvisations remains unknown to me.
What a thoroughly lovely performance! This late work of Vivaldi is full of wonderfully inventive passages. When I became familiar with it, it seemed that Vivaldi was telling the young virtuoso composers like Tartini "You do OK but look at what *I*, the master, can do!!" I had the good fortune to learn and perform this concerto with a local chamber orchestra a few years ago. Listening to this and watching the manuscript flow by brings back happy memories.
I totally fell in love with those late concerts too and also managed to convice "my" orchestra to tackle that one - so exciting and different! Hope the performance will go well - it's not exceedingly difficult, but quirky at times and thus hard to memorize (at least for me...)
It came out only last month. I have not had many listens but it is probably the best of the Vivaldi Edition's violin concerto series since volume 3. It boasts a very fine violinist, playing with great skill and sensibility, and a superbly recorded orchestra. It could be as revelatory for me as when Carmignola first performed those works on period instruments fifteen years ago. For sure, Fabio Biondi visited some of them, but he is also a fiery character, and I feel like this third approach offers a different perspective.
@@DelVivaldi This is a very good version as well....eventually I will get it but personally, I prefer Carmignola with VBO....their approach and Giuliano's execution is aggressive and daring (which is what I personally prefer for the late vn concertos) displaying bravura and verve that are reminiscent of Locatelli or Tartini's vn concertos :-)
The castle of Brtnice in the Czech Republic, residence of Antonio Rambaldo Collalto, to whose son four of the six concertos on the recording (including this one) were sold by Vivaldi a month before his death in Vienna. This is known via a letter in Vivaldi's hand dated 28 June 1741, and a catalogue in Brno lists the incipits of the 15 compositions that were probably part of the sale. However, the music has disappeared. Only seven of the incipits coincide with concertos that are known from another source. The other eight are thought to be lost.

I really like this CD published by Naive. Thank you.
Me too!
I really like this interpretation!

Vivaldi is and remains for me a great virtuoso. His works so fresh and full of sentiment. For me the Paganini of the baroque era.
Love the 2nd and 3rd mvts. Do know what "Il Castello" (the castle) refers to?

Is the cadenza in the second movement improvised or Vivaldi’s?
Improvised.
Del Vivaldi Thanks for the answer. I wonder if Vivaldi wrote any slow-movement cadenzas.
Senza Cembali means Senza Cembali....
And "Tutti" means all instruments. What is the problem? The indication applies only to the pianos.
