12 Concerti Op. 8, "Trial of Harmony & Invention" / Flute Concerto RV 429 / Cello Concerto RV 424

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & The English Concert & Trevor Pinnock

Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, Op. 8 is a set of twelve concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. The collection exemplifies the Baroque concerto style with vivid solo virtuosity, clear ritornello structures and striking contrasts between soloist and ensemble, and its formal and expressive innovations helped shape the solo concerto genre in the early 18th century.
First released: 1st May 2009
