Giuliano Carmignola: The Sony Recordings
Drawn from the worldwide holdings of Sony Classical Music and re-mastered in 24bit High Resolution Audio, these smart, desirable and collectible EU (Germany) pressed import multi-disc editions, replete with legendary artists, offer many of the finest, most sought-after recordings in the classical discography. The slender, shelf-friendly box frontages feature large, prominently displayed photos of the edition s featured artist, work listings at the back, with the CDs themselves housed in protective sleeves that divulge the recording specifics for each performance.
In tandem with the "Vivaldian ardour" (International Record Review) of conductor-harpsichordist Andrea Marcon and his Venice Baroque Orchestra, violinist Giuliano Carmignola - "a wonderfully accomplished player" (Gramophone) - has raised the bar on recordings of the Venetian Baroque master. This 6-CD set contains many of Vivaldi's most engaging concertos, enlivened with playing "full of character, energy and sensibility" (BBC Music Magazine) - including "a performance of the Four Seasons as fine as any" (ClassicsToday). It also features Carmignola and Marcon presenting the complete Bach Violin and Harpsichord Sonatas in a recording deemed "satisfying enough for a lifetime of listening" (ClassicsToday).
