Antonio Vivaldi & Contemporaries Virtuoso Recorder Concertos by Richard Harvey and the London Vivaldi Orchestra The rapid evolution of the solo concerto for recorder can be traced through the eight fine examples brought together in this collection, from the sheer virtuosity of Antonio Vivaldi through the concerto grosso style of Alessandro Scarlatti, to the elegant, stylish musicality of Giuseppe Sammartini and Jacques-Christophe Naudot, all played with breathtaking fluency and tone control by Richard Harvey.
