Overview
Indulge in the vibrant world of the "Red Priest" with La Cetra II - Vol. 2, a masterful collection of violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. This recording features the renowned Italian period-instrument ensemble L'Arte dell'Arco, under the expert direction of violinist and conductor Giovanni Guglielmo.
As part of the "Delizie Musicali" series, this volume explores the later concerto style of Vivaldi, characterized by inventive harmonic shifts and dazzling solo passages. Performed on original instruments, the ensemble captures the authentic "Venetian" sound—bright, agile, and deeply expressive. The album includes a variety of concertos for one and two violins, showcasing the technical brilliance of soloists Federico Guglielmo and Carlo Lazari alongside Giovanni Guglielmo. This DDD digital recording ensures that every nuance of the baroque violin’s gut strings and the harpsichord’s continuo is preserved with crystalline clarity.
Interesting Facts
- The Ensemble: L'Arte dell'Arco is celebrated for its rigorous historical research and has recorded extensively for the Dynamic label, particularly focusing on the works of Vivaldi and Tartini.
- The "La Cetra" Title: While Vivaldi's Op. 9 is famously titled La Cetra (The Lyre), this "La Cetra II" refers to a separate manuscript collection of 12 concertos found in the Austrian National Library, dedicated to Emperor Charles VI in 1728.
- Family Virtuosity: The Guglielmo family is a cornerstone of Italian baroque performance. Giovanni Guglielmo was a pioneer in the Italian early music revival, and his son Federico continues that legacy as a world-class virtuoso.
- Venice to Vienna: The back of the CD notes Vivaldi’s life span from his birth in Venice (1678) to his death in Vienna (1741), reflecting the journey of these specific concertos which were destined for the imperial court in Austria.
