Compositional Technique
The sonata exhibits Vivaldi's characteristic compositional elements, including sudden changes of mode, augmented seconds, and an irregular formal construction known as 'acephalic reprise'.
Interpretation
The performers, Javier Lupiáñez and Inés Salinas, added an improvised cadenza of chords to the first movement, inspired by Vivaldi's own improvisational style in his concertos.
Composition History
This album features a newly discovered work by Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, identified through a process described as "serendipity" by the performers.
Composition History
The newly discovered Vivaldi sonata was found in a manuscript collection in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, initially misattributed to Aldrovandini.
Recording & Production
This recording uses a proprietary microphone technique called ECA, developed by the sound engineer, to achieve maximum sound fidelity and precise instrument positioning.
Instruments
The violin used on this recording is attributed to Cornelis Kleynman, an Amsterdam maker from around 1683, and is on loan from the Nationaal Muziekinstrumenten Fonds.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Professor Michael Talbot suggests this sonata is a clear example of Vivaldi's 'auf Concertenant' style, intended as a 'visiting card' to showcase his advanced violin technique.
