Sonate a Flauto Solo

Lorenzo Cavasanti offers the first complete recording of Vivaldi's sonatas for recorder and basso continuo, including his recently discovered Sonata RV 806. This recording also provides an opportunity to sample the various recorders used in Vivaldi's Venice, with each of the seven sonatas using a different instrument, from the soprano recorder to the bass. The result is a reference recording for followers of Vivaldi and recorder players alike, enhanced with liner notes by the authoritative Federico Maria Sardelli, author of Vivaldi's Music for Flute and Recorder and editor of the Vivaldi Catalogue.
