With the download, you will get the audio files in higher quality than that of a usual CD and a beautiful PDF booklet (in English and Spanish) with a lot of information about the sonata and our performance.

After the discovery, he contacted his colleague, also a Vivaldi specialist, Prof. Fabrizio Ammett...

OH YEAH! Our CD is "RECOMMENDED" in MusicWeb International!!

"The performances are in line with the ensemble’s previous recordings. They are engaging and imaginative, and also do full justice to the theatrical nature of the repertoire, for instance through strong contrasts in tempo and marked dynamic shading. I already mentioned the way in particular slow movements are ornamented. There are also various cadenzas, which are just right in character and length.
The combination of music of high quality and outstanding performances, and the fact that we have here largely unfamiliar repertoire, justifies a special recommendation."
