About

Giovanni Antonini and his ensemble Il Giardino Armonico celebrate the composer who made them famous: Antonio Vivaldi. Their recordings of The Four Seasons and Cecilia Bartoli's famous first Vivaldi recital left an indelible mark on the discography of the Red-haired Priest! Their musical fireworks display continues with a programme of concertos that is bound to provoke strong reactions, since it is the result of a meeting with a musician who is equally adept at shifting boundaries, the violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja. Together they have devised a programme entitled WHAT'S NEXT VIVALDI?, which interweaves ultra-virtuosic concertos by Vivaldi (Il Grosso Mogul RV 208, La Tempesta di Mare (for violin!) RV 253, and RV 157, 191, 550 among others) with, between each concerto, short pieces written by much more recent composers, Luca Francesconi, Simone Movio, Giacinto Scelsi, Aureliano Cattaneo and Giovanni Sollima, and mostly commissioned by Patricia Kopatchinskaja especially for this programme.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

December 2020

No one cooks up a Vivaldian storm like Patricia Kopatchinskaja. The opening movement of La tempesta di mare is a churning cauldron of tempestuous fury that would surely have terrified Poseidon himself...More generally successful are the contemporary pieces... In all, a bold experiment whose spills are matched by high-octane thrills

September 2020

Prepare to be delightfully wrong-footed at every turn by this colourful, richly-textured tapestry interweaving Vivaldi concertos with shorter works by contemporary composers including Giacinto Scelsi, Aureliano Cattaneo and Luca Francesconi – every so often the ground suddenly shifts beneath your feet in the cadenzas of the concerti, so that the new pieces in between feel fully integrated into the whole.
