Vivaldi, Concerti Per Una Vita

Théotime Langlois de Swarte (violin/director), Le Consort

Vivaldi and the violin concerto? Vivaldi IS the violin concerto! You have to think away the cliché ("Vivaldi wrote the same concerto 500 times") to understand how much composer, instrument and genre form a unity: This is exactly what Théotime Langlois de Swarte and the members of Le Consort were all about. From his earliest youth in Venice to his last days in Vienna, the "red priest" transcended technical and academic boundaries and constantly created new forms of composition: a lifelong journey.

There is no doubt about the exceptional playing of both soloist and orchestra, directed by Langlois de Swarte himself – alternately exuberant , wayward, introspective and melancholic, they move seamlessly.

Langlois de Swarte is consistently colourful and capricious: ornamentation feels occasionally battered blue rather than soulful, and certain textbook Vivaldi passages could do with a simpler rhetorical stance. Perhaps it’s a cliché that Langlois de Swarte is doing well to contest.
