A follow up to their album, ‘Vivaldi X2’, this new offering from baroque specialists La Serenissima combines further double concerti by Antonio Vivaldi with works for violin, cello, oboe, recorder and continuo. The previous album received rave reviews including Recording of the Month from BBC Music Magazine. These are some of Vivaldi’s most colourful and joyful works, and with director Adrian Chandler at the helm, listeners can look forward to further baroque excellence from this dynamic ensemble.
"When it comes to explosively vibrant album-opening chords, it takes some doing to top the Red-Bull-meets-fireworks-show shot of musical adrenalin served up each time by Adrian Chandler and La Serenissima." - Gramophone Magazine, October 2024
