Antonio Vivaldi created his groundbreaking and magnificent 'La Stravaganza' to show the violin in all its diverse and extravagant forms, building on the great concerti he created with his set entitled 'L'Estro Armonico.' Utilizing numerous then-innovative violin techniques, Vivaldi created a wild excursion through the violins capabilities and we still relish these pieces today, while significantly expanding and nurturing his slow movements as contrast to the outer movements of the concerti. This first volume (comprising the first two concerti in the set) give you a great introduction to this true Vivaldi extravaganza! This deluxe set includes a second compact disc containing a slow-speed version of the accompaniments to help you get up to speed.

Here is the classic which sits atop the Baroque literature for violin and orchestra. Magnificent in every way, and well worth the effort to learn. Master virtuoso Michael Metelka performs this perennial classic, then he steps aside and you take your place as soloist with the magnificent Czech Symphony Chamber Orchestra under Maestro Mario Klemens. A joy to perform, as well as to listen to, it will delight you for a lifetime!
