This is truly a gem!

Just about everybody has heard of "The Four Seasons". That is what Vivaldi is mostly remembered for. What most people don't know is that he wrote hundreds of concertos and cantatas, several operas and sacred music. He was a very prolific composer. This CD is basically a wonderful little taste of Vivaldi's many concertos and cantatas, exquisitely performed by Sara Mingardo and Concerto Italiano under Rinaldo Alessandrini. I have listened to this CD over a dozen times since I've bought it last month. This is one of my favorites!

This is one of my all time favorites. I have this CD since 1998 and I keep going back to it time and time again. Both instrumental playing and singing is superb. This CD was my first introduction to Concerto Italiano and to Sara Mingardo. Since then I bought more and more. All my friends now listen to Ms. Mingardo. I traveled to Milan for one of her performances.
Anything by Concerto Italiano and anything by Sara Mingardo is highly recomended.

Great!

I am by no means an Opera expert, I bought this CD because I enjoy Harpsicord music. It is very listenable and entertaining to the ears. I love it!
