In addition to composing more than five hundred concertos, ninety solo sonatas, and dozens of choral works, Vivaldi wrote at least forty-six operas. On the contrary: with their arrangements, the lautten compagney Berlin puts old compositions into a new, contemporary context.If you have forgotten how exciting the music of Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) can be, take a moment and listen to this concert performance of the Violin Concerto in G minor, RV 317, featuring French violinist Julien Chauvin and Le Concert de la Loge. As this clip demonstrates, brilliant, crackling virtuosity and searing drama lie at the heart of Vivaldi’s music. The high respect for the originator is not lost in the process. The orchestration, the amount of improvisation, the tempo and the arrangement of the movements are comparatively free. Ensemble members Bo Wiget and Martin Ripper have created arrangements that are entirely tailored to the special instrumentation of the lautten compagney Berlin that is, to a baroque orchestra enriched with saxophone and numerous percussion effects. For "New Vivaldi," individual movements were selected not only from the "Four Seasons" cycle, but also from other instrumental concertos, stage and church works. And right at the beginning of this Vivaldi update, the recorders in "Summer" from the "Four Seasons" transform into a wonderfully chirping and warbling chorus of birds. There are influences from jazz and blues as well as from world music, especially from the Arabian region. Since the musicians around artistic director Wolfgang Katschner always implement exciting sound dialogues with other styles and cultures in their baroque projects, an exciting, musically multilingual Vivaldi album has now been created, which will be released by deutsche harmonia mundi in October. This is due in no small part to his world-famous hit, his "Four Seasons."Īs one of the leading baroque ensembles, the lautten compagney Berlin has also had Vivaldi in its repertoire for a long time. But since the Vivaldi renaissance that began in the 20th century, he has been one of the most frequently performed composers of all. It is hard to believe that his work was almost forgotten after his death in 1741. And just a few years later, the young violin virtuoso would become one of Europe's most celebrated composers. In 1678 Antonio Vivaldi saw the light of day in Venice. The album "New Vivaldi" will be released in October 2022. The award-winning lautten compagney Berlin performs Antonio Vivaldi on the German harmonia mundi label, opening up exciting new perspectives. 2 / RV 315 "The Four Seasons: Summer", arr.
