Scimone's Mandolins the best
I'll spare you longwinded discussion and cut to the chase.

This is quite simply the most delightful recording of these concertos I have ever encountered in 30+ years of listening to and collecting recorded music.

I am glad to see it is still in Erato's active catalog.

The Vivaldi Mandolin Concerti
I first listened to the I Solisti Veneti ensemble playing Vivaldi, conducted by Claudio Scimone, about 15 years ago, and this particular recording has during that time remained one of my favorites of all music.

The violin concerto discordato with the lovely passacaglia is beyond description. The second movement played duo coro with violin and cello is unforgettable.

No Vivaldi collection is complete without this recording.

The best of Vivaldi
This is an outstanding recording. Once you hear it you'll wish you'd learned of it years earlier. "The Four Seasons" will bore you after you'd enjoyed this utterly delightful recording. Vivaldi reached his peak of skill in these mandolin concertos and the performance and technical recording are superb. I ordered 10 copies to give to my best friends, to share the pleasure....
