Claudio Scimone and I solisti veniti had already recorded the concertos Erato taken in the 70s that had delighted the music lovers of the time, such as the rediscovery of Vivaldi scores wake Italian baroque landscape. It accused those original versions of Scimone them some educational and academic nature, away from the baroque standards as understood today. This CD Group in July 1983 records at Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza. From the first bars of the RV 532, we find the playful style Scimone and interpretation rather "light" and not internalized these parts. The difference is profound gaming soloists, legible and in the Andante largos various concertos. Apart from some hesitation in the largo of RV 425, their game, especially the mandolins (Ugo Orlandi and Dorina FRATIA) is breathtaking. Sound recording technology evolved, we manage to hear the vibration of the strings as if they were nearby, all without amplification effect or overexposure compared to the ensemble. The RV 558 is a pure masterpiece in which Scimone let himself pay more for the partition to which it manages to give a hitherto absent emotional power. Finally, a real gem: the Largo from RV 93 where Ugo Orlandi mandolin, expressed through his instrument, as beautiful tones rare, and deeply moving. At this affordable price, this CD is a gift that can come be superimposed on a previous version of Scimone but mainly serve as a useful counterpoint to a very different version of Biondi.
