Grew up listening to Mariner's interpretation, and it is easily the definitive recording. I swear I have the pauses memorized at this point, and it has easily been 10 years since I listened to it. I swear I could conduct this if I had to, let along play every instrument without the sheet music. That's how well I know this recording.
I would wonder if in your comment you are referring to this C.G. in particular. I ask because it happens to be a favorite of mine, as is the No. 5 from the Op. 6 set by Handel. These two stand out for me in such a way as to cause me to repeatedly revisit them, and I am planning to write essays on both them, as I do when a work sufficiently moves me to the point that I have to immerse myself in it. For me there is nothing at all in Vivaldi that I have heard the compares with the beauty that I receive from this work others like it. But Corelli has long been my favorite pre-Bach baroque composer.
Thank God, it's not period instruments. The height of baroque music performing was in the 1980s with this group and I Musici, I Solisti Veneit, etc. The period movement has permanently ruined it all.
Oh, I definitely prefer non-HIP renditions. First of all, the instruments of today are vastly superior to what was available at the time this work and others like it were written, and provide us with far more.
Musica hermosa que es la barroca gracias por ser escuchada una vez mas en el SXXI, como la adoro

Divino Corelli , el padre del Concerto Grosso !!
The painting is of (what was once thought to be) the Villa of Maecenas at Tivoli and it's by Jacob Philipp Hackert.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
perfect !!!
Corelli was Vivaldis great mentor in 1690's until his death in 1713.
They are very close.
