Vivaldi: Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione

Album by Antonio Vivaldi

Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione is a set of twelve violin concertos (Op. 8) by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. The collection exemplifies Baroque concerto practice with virtuosic solo violin writing, clear ritornello structures and inventive thematic contrasts, and it represents a pivotal moment in Vivaldi's output and in the development of the solo concerto genre.
First released: 1st May 2009
