Federico Guglielmo, violin and concert master
L'Arte dell'Arco
A new instalment of Guglielmo’s recording cycle of the complete Opus number 1-12 by Vivaldi: the 12 violin concertos Op. 9, known as “La Cetra”, dedicated to Charles VI, the holy Roman Emperor of the Hapsburg empire.
As in the other concerto cycles “L’Estro Armonico”, “La Stravaganza” and the 4 Seasons, these concertos abound in virtuoso writing for the soloist and brilliant melodic invention, in vocal italianate style, foreboding the classical style of the first Viennese School.
The Vivaldi cycle by L’Arte dell’Arco and violinist/conductor Federico Guglielmo is considered one of the most exciting since years: “Infectious joy, improvisatory flair and an instinct for Vivaldi’s language” (BBC 3), “technically impressive and musically engaging” (Musicweb), “Begeisterend..Elan und schäumende Spielfreude” (Klassik.com).
