La stravaganza, Vol. 1

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Andrew Watkinson & City of London Sinfonia & Nicholas Kraemer

La stravaganza, Vol. 1 is a volume of violin concertos (Op. 4) by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1716. The works display high Baroque characteristics, with energetic ritornello forms, vivid contrasts between soloist and ensemble and technically demanding solo violin writing, and they represent a key moment in Vivaldi's development of the solo concerto that influenced later Baroque concerto practice.
First released: 28th September 1999
