韋瓦第: 為多樣樂器組合的協奏曲, 第二集
賈盧卡.卡普阿諾 指揮
摩納哥王子音樂家古樂團
The present selection of 6 concertos perfectly reflects the endless range of combinations favoured by Vivaldi. The Concerto in C major,RV 557 (for two violins, two oboes, two recorders, bassoon, strings and continuo), recalls works by Heinichen in Dresden, as does the Concerto con molti istromenti RV 555, whose broad and varied scoring—combining winds (2 recorders, chalumeau..), bowed strings (including two violas da gamba, and sometimes plucked), and harpsichords—bears even more direct witness to a genre that was highly fashionable in Saxony during the 1720s and 1730s. By contrast, the Concerto in B-flat major, RV 553, features 4 obbligato violins that often dialogue in pairs; notwithstanding its brilliant character its structure recalls the concerto grosso, while its gentle expressiveness calls to mind the concerto da camera. As for the Concertos RV 535 and RV 543, they give pride of place to the oboe— paired with a second oboe in the former and violin in the latter. The natural shifts in texture lead Vivaldi to explore a variety of approaches in matters of nuance and instrumental balance.
Throughout this recording, notable for its exquisitely delicate balances (Concerto RV 570, Presto) and an incredibly refined palette of colours (Concerto RV 555, Largo a piacimento, or Concerto RV 543, Minuetto), Les Musiciens du Prince – Monaco display an unruffled elegance. Guided by the ensemble’s musical director, the Milanese Gianluca Capuano, tempi feel perfectly judged and natural and lines are clearly drawn. Forty-seven minutes imbued with an utterly Springlike exuberance.
