Antonio VivaldiIl cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, The Four Seasons
Monica Huggett, Raglan Baroque Players, Nicholas Kraemer
Virgin 5 61668 2
I am one who enjoys listening to an entire work rather than just parts of a composition. For example, I never buy recordings with only arias and choruses. I want to hear the entire piece! "The Four Seasons" is undoubtedly incredible, but they are only four concertos of a work that is made up of twelve concertos! The work is called "Il Cimento dell'armonia e dell'invenzione" ("The Contest Between Harmony and Invention"). Throughout you can hear the theme Vivaldi was portraying as there are some similarities between the pieces! Overall it is awesome and the Ragland Baroque Players perform fantastically! I highly recommend this CD!
