Info for Vivaldi: Concerti per flauto

Giovanni Antonini, virtuoso flautist and orchestral conductor, is the founder of the Italian ensemble Il Giardino Armonico, which burst on the baroque musical scene in 1985; together they have amassed an impressive discography. Partnered by Alpha Classics, they have launched a complete recording of the 107 symphonies by Joseph Haydn, in anticipation of the 300th anniversary of his birth in 2032.

Il Giardino Armonico is celebrating a composer with whose music he made his name: Antonio Vivaldi. With Antonini as soloist in a programme of his own devising recorded between 2011 and 2017, a generous bouquet of the Concerti per Flauto: RV 433 (‘La Tempesta di Mare’), plus the Concertos RV 441, 442 443, 444, and 445, and an amazing version of ‘Cum Dederit’, a solo from Nisi Dominus RV 608, for the chalumeau, the predecessor to the modern-day clarinet.

"Giardino Armonico does not play Vivaldi as briskly today as it did 30 years ago, and Giovanni Antonini’s flute playing is not as juicy. The enthusiastic musicality of the past has given way to an interpretation that is still energetic, but at the same time relaxed and playful. The roughness is a bit more polished, without the music becoming less nervy. What has remained is the freshness that is quite legitimate in Vivaldi’s music. And yet Antonini remains far removed from the rhetoric with which Stefan Temmingh enthused in these Vivaldi concertos. And technically, he is not as good as Temmingh. The highlight of the album is undoubtedly the transcription of Cum Dederit from the Nisi Dominus. This is music played with feeling, wonderfully atmospheric and cantabile." (pizzicato.lu)
