Music reviews of Vivaldi: La Viola da Gamba in Concerto

Music Review: A thrilling ride in Venice, with a very special friend
Rating: 5 Stars

This CD is simply thrilling. I bought it not out of interest in Vivaldi, whom like so many others I had not the highest esteem for, but purely out of curiousity about what a viola da gamba would be like in a concerto setting. Plus, Savall is one of my favorite musicians alive today.

It turns out that this CD includes a breathtaking variety of color, from the opening Concerto for violin, viola da gamba, and orchestra, to the closing Concerto "for many instruments" which is virtually a Baroque "concerto for orchestra" and is truly dazzling. The CD also includes some classic favorites such as the concerto for 4 violins.

The CD simply drew me into the exciting, decadent, and passionate world of Baroque Venice and the familiar but out-of-place sound of the viola da gamba was almost like a friend who came along for the ride. It was wonderful hearing the instrument put though its paces in the concerto setting, and Savall and Le Concert des Nations produced many thrilling performances in this disc. There were opportunties here to compare and contrast its sound with that of the Baroque cello and violin... This, along with a friend's performance of a Vivaldi concerto on original instruments and a disc by The Red Priest, has really helped turn me into a Vivaldi lover.

But it wasn't merely the gamba solos that enthralled me. The wonderful quality of tone by the hautboy, recorder, and chaleumeau soloists was wonderful as well...overall, the orchestra and soloists had a perfect feel for the music that is rivaled only by a very few.

Take a ride down the famous canals in a Baroque gondola and be sure to park it at the Pieta when you do. This disc is yet another of Savall's successes.
