Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien & Francois Lazarevitch – Vivaldi (2017) [Qobuz FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

After Scottish and Irish music, airs de cour and Baroque suites and sonatas, François Lazarevitch explores Vivaldi’s music and his cargo of rare instruments. The musette de cour (a more sophisticated form of bagpipe) is used to perform Spring from The Four Seasons, in an astonishing and very convincing version transcribed by the great virtuoso wind player of the reign of Louis XV, Nicolas Chédeville. Lazarevitch himself has arranged the other Seasons for the transverse flute, following a frequent eighteenth-century practice. A new angle on these evergreen masterpieces. The rest of the programme is devoted to other favourite pieces by Vivaldi, this time originally written for flute. (c) Outhere
