Cimarosa's Oboe Concerto; Concerti by Albinoni, Marcello & Vivaldi
Tomaso Albinoni, Arthur Benjamin, ...
Nimbus Records, 1995
The magic of Anderson strikes again.
+ Five times Five Stars
+ Venetian Oboe Concertos
I never cease to be amazed by this player. And this CD is no exception. John Anderson undertakes some of the most breathtaking and exciting performances of what are now mainstays of the Oboe repetoire, breathing total new life into concertos that have, in some cases been played many times ...

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (Le Quattro Stagioni Op 8 Nos 1-4) /Standage * English Concert * Pinnock
Antonio Vivaldi, Trevor Pinnock, ...
Archiv Produktion, 1990
The best recording of this piece
+ Sensational Achievement, but with hindsight very English
This is by far the best recording I've ever heard of The Four Seasons. It isn't rushed, it doesn't drag, the pauses and ritards are just perfect, and the musicianship of the Pinnock and Standage is superb.

Anne Sofie von Otter - Lamenti (Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Purcell, Bertali, Legrenzi) / Goebel
Claudio Monteverdi, Antonio Bertali, ...
Archiv Produktion, 1998
Splendid music, great singing! A disc to treasure...
+ Beauty for Its Sake; Van Otter, Goebel record a Paradigm
The CD appeared on the European market early this year ("Gramophone" reviewed it in March on p. 88) and it is only now that it has its American premiere. I was waiting impatiently - so did many von Otter's admirers in this country - and here it is! I bought my copy in Europe a couple of months ...

Italian Violin Sonatas: Fabio Biondi/Europa Galante
Fabio Biondi
Virgin Veritas, 2003
Want Some Fiery Fiddling?
+ The Italian Fiddler at His Best
+ All roads lead back to Rome - and Corelli
"Felefeber" is a Scandinavian word for fiery fiddling, and that's what Fabio Biondi has to offer on this disk - virtuosic bow-work on his Baroque violin, with stunning use of double stops and the full tonal potential of gut strings. I know I've given out a lot of five-star reviews to Baroque ...

Vivaldi for diverse instruments / PBO · McGegan
Antonio Vivaldi, Nicholas McGegan, ...
Reference Recordings, 1997
Immense pleasure
+ Enjoyable Above All
+ Vivaldi for diverse instruments
Vivaldi has been accused of writing the same concerto over-and-over again. He wrote so many that you can always get the feeling that you have heard it all before. However, the unusual instrumental combinations on this disk dispense of the above doubts and offer an aural feast. I enjoyed this disc ...
