Immerse yourself in the magical and rare world of the viola d'amoreone of the most poetic instruments of the Baroque era. This issue features two beautiful concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, written especially for it. "Viola d'amore" (as the Viola d'amore is translated) is renowned for its delicate, silvery, and slightly mysterious timbre, created not only by the regular strings but also by the additional resonating (sympathetic) strings. They vibrate in response, enveloping the melody in a light, humming echo. Vivaldi, the great innovator, was acutely aware of this unique palette and wrote several concertos for the instrument, full of profound lyricism and passion. Program: Concerto for Viola d'amore, Strings, and Harpsichord in D minor, RV 393 00:00 / 04:32 / 08:34 Concerto for Viola d'amore, Strings, and Harpsichord in D minor, RV 395 12:20 / 16:27 / 20:12 Both works follow the composer's favorite "fast-slow-fast" pattern, centered on heartfelt, arioso-like Largos, true "operatic arias" for the instrument. This recording is a historical gem. It was composed in the mid-20th century, when interest in these early instruments was just beginning to revive. The brilliant Italian virtuoso Renzo Sabatini was one of those who brought the viola d'amore back into concert life. Accompanied by the exquisite London Chamber Orchestra under Anthony Bernard, his performance exudes the warmth, intimacy, and romantic expressiveness characteristic of the performing school of the time. Compare this sound with modern, authentic interpretations, and you'll hear how differently the same music can be experienced by listeners in different eras. Enjoy this unique journey into the world of Baroque beauty!
