Music Review: A Must Have
Rating: 5 Stars
This cd, as well as Carmignola and the VBO's version of the four seasons (and 3 other perviously unrecorded late violin concertos) and their 2002 cd (mint green cd) of Vivaldi Late violin concertos are a must have for any fan of classical music or the violin.
The material here is first rate--these are concertos written late in Vivaldi's career for purposes that did not require the satisfaction of a mass audiance. Vivaldi was not after popularity in this style. The solo violin part is very difficult even by current standards, requiring not only pure virtuosity, but also a massive expressive palette. Carmignola and the Venice Baroque orchestra are the perfect preformers to bring this deep and inovative music to life. Carmignola has a huge expressive palette to draw on, and will impress you with the variety of coloring he can achive. He loves to juxtapose the smooth with the jagged, the husky with the sparkling. His expressive interpretations so match Vivaldi's intent in the music that it is almost as if Vivaldi has sprung to life, picked up his violin and started playing his favorite works. His upper range sparkles and sings, his lower range groans and growls. This is great violin playing by any standard; baroque, modern, academic, recreational, artistic, intellectual... Listen to the artiuclation and what Carmignola does with his bow. The Venice Baroque Orchestra is not far behind this standard. Their emoting covers the range Vivaldi requires--which is huge, and the violins shine. This is a very tight group with a transparent sound-- all the parts blend into a whole but are at any moment audible as their own entities. The continuo is entertaining and effective without being distracting. I espesially like the archlute playing with adds great touches. The orchestra is not without fault, though. The violas and espesially the cellos and violone (double bass viol) need to play out more. In the first mvt. of the Bflat concerto the cellos play a strange and hypnotic ritornello melody, but we often miss it because the cellos don't play out and the high strings cover too well with their long tones. This moment stands out as a disappointment, but tutti sections are plagued by a weak bass throughout the cd. The continuo (during solos) cello, however, is a good compliment to the violin.
And just listen to these concertos, which stand with any violin composer in the literature! There is the opening mvt of the cd, in which the orchestra churns and drives wild rythms and the bass explodes, but the soloist brings us to the silken shimmer of a utopian lake, calm yet unlimitedly complex in it's motion and mood. The D major concerto is a celebration of life and it's andante is soothing yet awing in it's lyrical invention. The 1st mvt. of the e minor concerto chills the bones and remindes me of a bleak winter day. It was probibly one of Vivaldi's last works and you can sence a bitterness and a cold frailty still punctuated by firey fits (this is the red priest after all). Yet it's an optimistic work in it's cleverness with innovative and disconcerting waves of melodic cells. The F major concerto is a rustc veiw, bold and rough, yet sublime, too. The Bflat concerto is shrouded in mystery from the opening measures, although the soloist brings us out of the fogs and into a clearer yet still perplexing landscape. The jovial 3rd mvt. is a more confidant place dappled by sun. The 1st mvt. of the C rv.191 concerto is shocking in its audacious contrasts. Vivaldi versus smooth melody with angular leaps in the solos and adds a tradmark molto perpetuo that gurgles like a brook. The slow mvt is meditative and content. The 3rd mvt. brings us to a jittry conclusion full of humor and optimism-- it shivers and tumbles along like a playful act of nature.
If you don't own this cd, you should add it to your collection. Along with it's two companions it will enrich you musical life.
