2. The singers and players of Concerto Italiano, under Alessandrini's direction, also deliver the vibrant, high-quality performances that we have come to expect of them in the baroque repertory. They make Vivaldi's well-known Gloria seem new and fresh.

Vivaldi is a new, feature rich web browser that combines an Opera-like interface with a Chromium open-source platform. Vivaldi is very similar to the Opera browser in many ways. There are some pretty cool features which are nice, such as the interface, which fades colours to match the dominant colour on the page as you navigate between sites.

Concerto Italiano is an Italian early music ensemble well known for their interpretations of Monteverdi and Vivaldi, among others.

The historically informed performance ensemble was formed by the harpsichordist Rinaldo Alessandrini, and made its Rome debut with Francesco Cavalli's La Calisto in 1984. Since then, Concerto Italiano has recorded Monteverdi madrigals, which have won numerous awards, including the Gramophone Award three times. Other major international awards garnered by this ensemble include Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Prix de la Nouivelle Académie du disque, Premio internationale del disco Antonio Vivaldi (Cini Foundation), and the Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros.

Concerto Italiano is under exclusive contract with OPUS 111, which is now under the umbrella of the large French label, Naïve. Most recently, with conjunction with the National University Library in Turin, Concerto Italiano has been recording all the operas and concertos of Vivaldi, many of which have not been performed for over 300 years. Highlights include Concerto Italiano's recordings of the opera L'Olimpiade, La Senna Festeggiante, Le Quattro Stagioni (hailed as one of the best versions of the work by Gramophone), Vespri Solenni per la Festa dell'Assunzione di Maria Vergine (a reconstruction of a possible Vespers for the Ascension of the Virgin Mary and 2004 Gramophone winner for Baroque Vocal), and in 2004, an entire CD devoted to Vivaldi's Concerti per Archi.

Review by: John Greene

As Concerto Italiano and its harpsichordist/director Rinaldo Alessandrini are gradually becoming the most recruited ensemble in Opus 111’s ambitious ongoing Vivaldi cycle, it apparently was only a matter of time before they got their chance at Le Quattro Stagioni (regardless of Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante’s excellent and still-available first recording for the same label). And as we would expect from their superb previous Vivaldi recordings, it’s a great one, characterized by remarkably crisp articulation, expert ensemble, and meticulous attention to detail. In fact, Alessandrini not only acknowledges the importance of Vivaldi’s accompanying sonnets and their relationship to the programmatic allusions in the score, but in the accompanying notes (modestly titled “The whole truth about the four seasons!”) he offers a hilarious complete blow by blow reenactment of their significance. The proof however is in Concerto Italiano’s performance, which–especially given the vastly competitive field–ranks among the best.

La Primavera’s early bird-call ritornellos are exquisitely rendered with subtle freshness and lift, rivaling Il Giardino Armonico’s and both of Europa Galante’s equally splendid performances (including their more recent Virgin recording–type Q6463 in Search Reviews). L’autumno’s second-movement Adagio molto march is inordinately broad, dramatically heightened by Alessandrini’s clockwork keyboard precision set in a fabric of remarkably seamless strings. L’inverno’s outer Allegro non molto and Allegro lento movements are executed with spine-tingling agility and bracing virtuosity that powerfully evoke winter’s mood of resignation as well as frigid temperatures. Numerous other captivating moments enliven the rest of the performance, leading to the conclusion that for sheer attention to and imaginative conception of programmatic detail, Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano are peerless.

Opus 111’s sonics are equally spectacular, with superb instrumental detail presented in the context of a consistently well-balanced ensemble. Alessandrini’s previously mentioned notes not only entertain, but are also creatively informative–a refreshing alternative to the usual (and often boring) historical overview. Also included is a bonus “portrait” CD highlighting Concerto Italiano’s varied achievements, spanning repertoire from Marenzio to Rossini–a collection guaranteed to whet your appetite for more.
