Vivaldi: Complete Works for the Italian Lute / Jakob Lindberg

Libretto

Vivaldi wrote very little for the lute, guitar, or mandolin--all of which can be used to play this music. In fact the two concertos have become very popular among guitarists, who are always looking for something interesting to play that doesn't require too much effort to transcribe from another medium. The music itself, curiously, is among the composer's most popular. These particular performances have a very special beauty, partly the result of superb performances by all concerned, and partly due to the positively luminous recording quality. It's so pretty as pure sound, it's almost hypnotic. Those interested in this tiny but popular Vivaldian niche need look no farther. -- David Hurwitz

For this release, the playing time has been increased by
adding two works which will adds new light on the lute during this period.

Giovanni Zamboni published his Sonata in C (actually a suite of dance movements) in 1718, some ten years earlier than the Vivaldi works were written - thus giving an idea of what a contemporary solo work by an Italian composer might sound like. And Bach's Prelude, Fugue and Allegro, also for lute solo - here performed on the baroque lute preferred in Germany - shows how the instrument was used in the parallell, polyphonic tradition
