Concerto Italiano / Rinaldo Alessandrini

This opera, which marks the end of the apogee of Vivaldi's first Venetian period, has come down to us without the music to Act II. Adopting a practice that was common in Vivaldi's day, Alessandrini has reconstructed the missing music using already-existing pieces by Vivaldi very carefully chosen with the help of the musicologist frédéric Delaméa. A very successful restoration, enabling us to discover a new work by the brilliant Venetian composer!
