Vivaldi / Martynov / Modo Antiquo 12 Violin Concertos Iv CD

Federico Maria Sardelli is perhaps one of the word's most notable experts of Vivaldi music as well as a versatile and gifted artist (he's a painter, a novelist, a conductor, a composer and a musicologist). He wrote many books about Vivaldi including a prize-winning novel. Twice nominated for the Grammy Awards (in 1996 and 1999), since 2007 he has been in charge of the Vivaldi catalogue (The Ryom Vivaldi Werkverzeichnis). He is the founder and the director of the baroque ensemble "Modo Antiquo". The Russian violinist Anton Martynov completes this remarkable cast for an outstanding Vivaldi. The ensemble Modo Antiquo performs here with aplomb alongside Martynov and Sardelli. Modo Antiquo is a protagonist of the current Vivaldi renaissance, having premiered on stage and in recording operas such as Arsilda, Tito Manlio, and others. Committed to the divulgation of Vivaldi's rarest and unpublished operas, Modo Antiquo regularly records the latest rediscoveries as world premiere recordings.
