The entire collection is available as a boxset (BC95200) and has received wide critical praise. ‘Let me start by saying that if ever a super‐budget box deserved the epithet ‘Brilliant’ it is this one. Not only does it bring together the first twelve opus numbers of Vivaldi, half of them in a new critical edition, but also they are performed by a first rate ensemble. That we also get excellent sound and notes too makes this set a real winner.’ (Musicweb International). According to Diapason, L’Arte dell’Arco ‘understand the secret language of Vivaldi… rich and generous instrumental textures envelop the expressive lines of the solo violin.’
Federico Guglielmo contributes a scholarly note to the booklet, in which study of the manuscripts have uncovered new contexts to these concertos. Although it is uncertain how much Vivaldi supervised their publication, and to what degree they are compilations of earlier work, the concertos bear the hallmarks of the fully mature composer. By this time in his full maturity, Vivaldi was highly receptive to the appeal of the new galant taste, enriched by his experience with opera, and sensitive to discussion with acclaimed composers such as Leonardo Vinci, Nicola Porpora and Leonardo Leo. Two of them were likely written for one Anna Maria, a student of particular virtuoso abilities at the Ospedale della Pieta where Vivaldi was the longserving music master. The final concerto of Op.11 was originally conceived as an oboe concerto, and in that form is presented here.
