A world turned upside down. Vivaldi’s concerti con molti istromenti are true precursors of the symphony in their amplitude and audacity. In these pieces, the “Red-haired Priest”, a creator of boundless imagination, amused himself by devising literally unheard-of combinations of timbres. In the famous Concerto “Il mondo al rovescio, he invited flutes, oboes and harpsichord to double violin and cello in a colourful whirlwind of parallel octaves. This recording by Amandine Beyer and Gli Incogniti provides an opportunity to discover these incredibly modern compositions.
