The Vivaldi Collection - 8 Timeless Pieces Arranged for String Quartet

Vivaldi was a prolific composer, very much a string composer, but also responsible for a wide variety of other work. This selection includes extracts from The Seasons - arguably the composer's most well-known work, as well as other less well-known vocal and instrumental music. The two extracts from the concerto for two mandolins and the concerto for two trumpets remind us that the composer did not restrict himself only to concertos for string instruments.
