About

This is the 49th title in the Vivaldi Edition and the 5th volume (out of approximately 12) of the series dedicated to the violin concertos whose manuscripts are held in the National Library of Turin.

All the concertos selected here are linked to the German violinist Johann Georg Pisendel, a member of the Dresden orchestra who spent time in Venice in 1716-17 with the Electoral Prince of Saxony Friedrich August. Vivaldi and Pisendel became very close friends and the Red Priest composed several works for Pisendel. Moreover, Pisendel copied and performed several concertos by Vivaldi afterwards in Germany.

This series of 7 concertos is an overview of the complete art of Vivaldi as a composer and violinist: large in scale of music, invention, expression, energy, power of evocation, and considerable virtuosity.

Dmitry Sinkowsky is a fast-rising baroque violinist and conductor. He is currently the conductor of leading Italian baroque orchestra Il Complesso Barocco on Joyce di Donato’s worldwide tour.
