"This is not Mullova's first excursion into the period-instrument world but it is certainly her most successful: a thrilling coming-together of a top ensemble and a violinist of spectacular virtuosity (and the taste to direct that virtuosity to best effect). As so often with Vivaldi concertos there are discoveries aplenty to be made." (Gramophone)

NOTE: outer cardboard cover has some slight wear

(Gramophone)

An outstanding collaboration between Russian virtuoso Viktoria Mullova and top Italian Baroque band, il Giardino Armonico under the charismatic direction of Giovanni Antonini.

5 amazing virtuoso violin concertos, several little-known, by the immortal Antonio Vivaldi.

Mullova first played with il Giardino Armonico 3 years ago and was so excited by the experience that she completely revised her technique to suit the Baroque style
