La Serenissima: VIVALDI 8+, Vol. 2 CD
The dazzling period-instrument orchestra La Serenissima is recognized for "whipping up a storm with Vivaldi" (The Telegraph) and championing a host of neglected Italian baroque composers. The ensemble’s entire repertoire is edited from source material by founder and violinist, Adrian Chandler, whom The Times characterizes: “After being obsessed by the composer and his music world for more than 30 years, Chandler by now is Vivaldi incarnate.” 8+ continues their stylish exploration of Vivaldi's Opus 8 with seven concertos for violin, strings and continuo (Nos. 7–12), including "La caccia" (The Hunt), and the Two-Violin Concerto in D.
