What a blast! 3

As is often the collection "alpha" offers us a superb achievement. In this case, here is a selection of five concertos that Vivaldi wrote at the end of his life one of the most famous orchestra of the then Europe, that of Dresden.

These works have been distilled by the Red Priest in contact with his student Pissendel, concertmaster of the Dresden orchestra, virtuoso recognized throughout Europe and spent a year in Venice to follow the lessons of the master.

The wind instruments of the orchestra are particularly renowned, Vivaldi here includes hunting horns to his music that takes a solar aspect even more if need be.

This all young "ambassadors" achieves a masterstroke with this absolutely gorgeous drive from one end to the other, and that is an alternative choice in the selection of concertos for the Dresden orchestra has engraved Von Der Glotz with the famous Freiburg Baroque Vivaldi - The Dresden Concertos

This disc will not duplicate since Von der Glotz had chosen partly written concertos for that Dresden orchestra but for flute and string instrumenta and also to another party for corns.

A.Kossenko at the head of a whole revives the sound of this orchestra of Dresden, forged the French image and then in the second generation, acquired the Italian cause. This fantastic phalanx was able to synthesize the two styles to create what would become the "mixed taste" dear to German composers.

One is immediately charmed by the bucolic and triumphant sounds of the horns of these concertos are a product of the genius of Vivaldi but that stand out from its usual production of astonishing accents Germanness that clever courtier looking a Venetian patron to include in our music.

Pissendel, probably knew Vivaldi guided in their choices. Moreover, the master quickly considered his student as his friend and together the two thieves if we can say worked in this sumptuous sound that can be found throughout this sumptuous recording.

This disc is a treat for those who love the music of Vivaldi as it gives an original image of the art of the Venetian great.

Would recommend highly!
