Notes and Editorial Reviews
II cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, Op. 8 Nos 1-12.:

"The Academy of Ancient Music does a wonderfully and good performance playing the pieces by Vivaldi one seldom hears and they are precious and surprising heart-touching compositions in the inimicable style of the enthusiastic Antonio. Good purchase of 6 CDs!"
