Vivaldi Concertos & Arias with Cello

Antonio Vivaldi: Concertos & Arias with Cello

(4 musicians)

“Thus they sing like angels and play the violin, flute, organ, oboe, cello, and bassoon. In short, there is no instrument so large that they would fear it” wrote Charles Burney, visiting Venice, about the orphan girls of the Ospedale della Pietà where Vivaldi taught for nearly twenty years.

Through this programme, Pulcinella, which owes its name to a colourful character from the archetypically Venetian commedia dell’arte, proposes discovering all facets of Vivaldi’s art of the concerto: extreme virtuosity, the beautiful sonority of instruments made in the Venetian region, so highly prized by collectors – the Francesco Goffriller of 1737 played by Ophélie Gaillard is one the finest specimens, contrasts of lights and dynamics, the art of the dance and bel canto, display of emotions up to the limits of madness with La Follia.
