Vivaldi - Four Seasons / Il Giardino Armonico

This special visualisation of this most famous Vivaldi concerto, The Four Seasons, is shot in Venice, where the composer conceived the work. It captures the atmosphere of this stunningly beautiful city in all its varied moods and aspects throughout the year: in spring, when sunlight starts to sparkle on the water, the city awakens and romance is in the air; in summer when the tourists arrive, adding new life and energy to this teeming city as they wander through narrow alleyways, visiting Venice's beautiful squares and churches, and taking in the city's stunning vistas from vaporettos and gondolas; in autumn when the city takes on a different mood as the visitors go home and Venice is seen against a darkening night sky; and in winter when an icy blast sweeps across the lagoon. Against the famous backdrop of the lagoon and the Grand Canal, this film also shows craftsmen at work making gondolas, musical instruments and Murano glass.

Performed by Il Giardino Armonico; Conducted by Giovanni Antonini

Viva Vivaldi! Arias & Concertos / Cecilia Bartoli · Il Giardino Armonico

Viva Vivaldi! is a concert by Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli interspersing arias from the 20 surviving operas of Vivaldi with two concertos. It is given with the early music ensemble Il Giardino Armonico before a very appreciative audience in the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. (There is very little overlap between her studio-recorded Vivaldi Album and this 105-minute concert.) Anyone thinking of Vivaldi's vocal music in the context of his uplifting scared works may get a shock, for Bartoli performs as if her life depended upon it, attacking pieces such as "Armatae Face et Anguibus" from Juditha Triumphans with vengeful gusto. Bartoli's natural Italian and the live atmosphere of Maria Grazia d'Alessio's oboe gives her interpretation of the quietly haunting and melodically rich "Non ti Lusinghi la Crudeltade" from Tito Manlio a particular piquancy. The Flautino Concerto is a most attractive interlude, while the more famous Lute/Violin Concerto beguiles with its exquisite lyricism. --Gary S. Dalkin, Amazon.co.uk

From the very first, the concert given by talented mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli together with Italian period music ensemble Il Giardino Armonico recieved universal acclaim. Above all, they performed unknown works that had to be copied from Vivaldi's original manuscripts. The concert program encompasses arias and instrumental works from the operas "L'Olimpiade," "Tito Manilio," "Ottone in Villa," "Farnace," "Bajazet," "La Fida Ninfa," from the oratorio "Juditha Triumphans," and the "Gloria," plus two Vivaldi concertos.
