Vivaldi wrote a great many excellent concerti for just about every instrument of the period. Definitely not a "one-hit-wonder," even if his works do not approach the level of such Baroque masters as Bach and Handel.

I have most of these in the non-HIP performances by I Solisti Italiani on Denon. (It's getting harder and harder to find non-HIP versions of Vivaldi.) I also agree with John below that the vocal music can be beautiful and interesting. I particularly like this Naxos recording, featuring Canadian performers:
(I'm showing the DVD-Audio incarnation which I have, but I'm sure the plain old CD version is excellent too.)
Thanks for the tip Chis - looks like another to add to the collection here!

Thanks.
