Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741)
Concertos for the Emperor
The English Concert
Andrew Manze - violin, conductor
Andrew Manze, leading The English Concert in their second recording together, demonstrates the electrifying, spontaneous style of playing which has made him one of the hottest properties on the classical music scene. This programme brings together for the first time a reconstruction of six violin concertos from the manuscript which Vivaldi presented to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI in 1728. A royal treat indeed!
