| Vivica Genaux, star of Virgin Classics complete recording of Vivaldis opera Bajazet, follows her 2006 solo recital of Handel and Hasse with this brilliant new programme of Vivaldi arias, some never before recorded . The dazzling arias in this programme some of which have never been recorded or, indeed, performed in concert illustrate the different phases and forms of Vivaldian pyrotechnics, exploring every emotion and the most diverse dramatic situations, and continually varying instrumentation, tonality and tempo. The composer of the Four Seasons, flamboyant as ever, sets his unique operatic stamp. |
