Vivaldi: Complete Cello Sonatas, RV 39-47
This scholarly-critical edition is based on all the known sources, whether printed or handwritten, that have come down to us for these frequently played pieces. By closely scrutinizing the source material, the editor has arrived at interesting findings that considerably differ from earlier editions of these works. Rather than taking as her principal source Le Clercs 1740 print of Sonatas I to VI an edition probably made without the composers consent, the editor has examined the Naples and Wiesentheid manuscripts prepared under Vivaldi's direct supervision. The editor has also managed to identify a previously unknown source for Sonata RV 44. All departures from the sources in the printed text and all editorial additions are listed in the critical report. Cellists are thus given ready access to every alternative reading, including deleted bars and the many inevitable variants in articulation. A detailed preface provides essential information on sources and their assessment, with a section on performance practice offering valuable suggestions on interpretation. Contains the following Cello Sonata in B-flat Major, RV 47 ; Cello Sonata in F Major, RV 41 ; Cello Sonata in A Minor, RV 43 ; Cello Sonata in B-flat Major, RV 45 ; Cello Sonata in E Minor, RV 40 ; Cello Sonata in B-flat Major, RV 46 ; Cello Sonata No. 7, RV 44 ; Cello Sonata No. 8, RV 39 ; Cello Sonata No. 9, RV 42 * Manufacturer BA6995 * Cello, Basso continuo * Urtext / Critical Edition

The Four Seasons
(1725), a set of violin concertos.
People recognized the greatness of Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, a Baroque red-haired priest and virtuoso, whose influence spread widely over Europe during his lifetime.
Vivaldi began studying for the priesthood at the age of 15 years in 1693, and the bishop ordained him ordained at 25 years of age in 1703 but due to a health problem gave him dispensation to no longer say public Mass.
This Venetian virtuoso and impresario wrote Baroque music. People regard Vivaldi alongside Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel of the greatest Baroque, and his widespread influence during his lifetime across Europe gave origin to many imitators and admirers. He pioneered many developments in orchestration, technique, and programmatic music. He consolidated the emerging form into a widely accepted and paramount followed idiom in the development of instrumental music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Antonio Vivaldi wrote much for the all-female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children and his employer from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. Vivaldi also succeeded some with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua, and Vienna. Vivaldi mainly developed and wrote a variety of especially sacred choral or instrumental music and more than forty of fifty operas. He worked a series.
After meeting Charles VI Habsburg, the emperor, Vivaldi moved to Vienna and expected preferment and royal support. After arrival of Antonio Vivaldi, however, the emperor quickly died. Impoverished Vivaldi died within less than a year.
People received music of Vivaldi during his lifetime, but his musical reputation later declined in popularity for more than two centuries until it underwent a vigorous revival in the first half of the 20th century. Today, Vivaldi ranks among the most popular and widely recorded of Baroque. Scholars devoted much research to his work.
People once lost many works of Vivaldi but rediscovered them in one case as recently as 2006. People regularly and widely play his music in the present day over the world.
