Free Music Notes for Concert for the Prince of Poland
Free Music Review: Vigorous, but not tedious
Hit: 5 Stars
This is how I like my Vivaldi: strong but not big-boned, fast and not staid, and with a handy dash of fantasy.
Manze and the Academy of Ancient Music pull this off to great effect: revel in concerto rv558.
Whereever you are on the spectrum of classical music, this CD will do you good!
There's nothing more to be said!
Concert for the Prince of Poland Poster
Here, at a bargain price, is a real treat: the lively, elegant, musically alert Andrew Manze leading and playing a handful of wonderful Vivaldi concerti preceded by a little Sinfonia. The concerti, all backed up by the usual strings, are for various combinations of instruments. Two are straight violin concerti (playful and bright). One is for violin and three echo violins that repeat what the lead violin has done, but at a distance from the other performers (very entertaining). The most beautiful is for lute and viola d'amore (a gentle, dark texture). The CD ends with one scored for recorders, chalumeaux, mandolins, therobos, cello, and special violins, which is a riot of sound, with a particularly jaunty first movement. The disc's title refers to a visit to Venice in 1740 by Frederick Christian, the Prince Elector of Saxony, during which Vivaldi's music was performed. He was a lucky prince, and we're lucky to have this CD. As usual, Manze and the Academy of Ancient Music are superb. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
