Amandine Beyer, Gli Incogniti
Vivaldi’s concerti con molti stromenti are true precursors of the symphony in their amplitude and audacity. In these pieces, the ‘Red-haired Priest’, a creator of boundless imagination, amused himself by devising literally unheard of combinations of timbres.
In the famous concerto Il Mondo al rovescio (The world upside down), he invited flutes, oboes and harpsichord to double violin and cello in a colourful whirlwind of parallel octaves.
This recording by Amandine Beyer and Gli Incogniti provides an opportunity to discover these incredibly modern compositions.
With gratifying plucked string continuo sonorities, sprightly allegro movements and crisp articulation, Gli Incogniti’s interpretations can easily take their place alongside the likes of Tafelmusik, the Academy of Ancient Music and Europa Galante.
In a nutshell, a brilliantly varied programme, brilliantly dispatched.
