L’Estro Armonico

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Capella Istropolitana & Jozef Kopelman

L'Estro Armonico is a set of twelve concertos (Op. 3) by the Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1711. The works exemplify Vivaldi's energetic ritornello-driven concerto style, characterised by bright string textures, clear contrasts between solo and ensemble passages and virtuosic violin writing, and they occupy a key place in his early career and in the development of the Baroque concerto.
First released: October 1988
