In my lay opinion, Vivaldi is the greatest ever composer of cello music – on a par with J.S. Bach. This set of 4 CD’s is the complete compilation of Vivaldi’s cello concertos and it is a great buy. Ofra Harnoy is superb and she is magnificently accompanied by the Toronto Chamber Orchestra. Highly recommended.
