Six Flute Concerti, Op. 10 / Flute Concerto in C minor

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Smith Square Orchestra of St. John's & John Lubbock & Robert Stallman

The collection showcase Vivaldi's exuberant Italian Baroque concerto craft, pairing virtuosic solo passages with brisk ritornello forms and dance-like rhythms that display the transverse flute's agility and lyrical expressiveness. The C minor concerto adds a darker, more dramatic shade to the set, emphasising stark harmonic contrasts and plaintive melodic lines that balance emotional depth with technical flair.
First released: 1993
