It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Was Vivaldi a "One Hit Wonder"??

Vivaldi's reputation may have been damaged by the success of the Four Seasons! Don't listen to the snobs: his music is always entertaining, enjoyable and breathtakingly inventive. He may have written hundreds of concertos but (of the 40 or so I have heard), they all sound quite different. Almost any disc will be worth hearing, but my favourite Vivaldi group is Il Giardino Armonico and my favourite recording of theirs is 'Il Proteo', containing concertos with a variety of instruments. The music, performance and (Teldec) recording are all fantastic. If you check the disc on Amazon you will find 100% rave reviews and I agree with everything they say.
