About
This is the 51st title in the Vivaldi Edition and the 6th volume, out of approximately 12, of the series dedicated to the violin concertos whose manuscripts are held in the National Library of Turin. Following two successful volumes of concertos for solo violin and orchestra recorded separately in the Vivaldi Edition, virtuosos Riccardo Minasi and Dmitry Sinkovsky now join forces to record pyrotechnic concertos for two violins and orchestra. This series of 6 concertos is an overview of the complete art of Vivaldi as a composer and violinist: large of musical scale, invention, expression, energy, and of course, virtuosity.

Awards and reviews
February 2014
These are live-wire performances that would make even the likes of Il Giardino Armonico blush (both soloists are alumni)...the full-blooded articulation from the small orchestra, virile sparring from the soloists and ringing continuo upon the final chord typify these high-voltage performances.
New York Times 15th January 2014
Dmitry Sinkovsky and Riccardo Minasi have served as soloists in previous edition releases; here, in a sonorous recording with a dynamic young ensemble, they’re companionable partners without sacrificing individuality.
Early Music Today
The playing of these artists is crisp in definition and full of vitality. Theatrical gestures are plentiful and little is taken at face value.
