Vivaldi: French Connection 2, Adrian Chandler & La Serenissima
Adrian Chandler and La Serenissima, winners of Baroque Instrumental category in the 2010 Gramophone Awards for Vivaldi: The French Connection, return with the sequel, French Connection 2. This is another well-executed performance of Vivaldi concertos, featuring the flute, bassoon, oboe and violin. Included here is the newly discovered concerto Il Gran Mogul for flute, strings and continuo. This is baroque music at its finest; those of you not familiar with Vivaldi, other than the Four Seasons, should try this disc.
