VIVALDI: CELLO CONCERTOS VOL 2

"I greeted Harnoy's recorded entry into Vivaldi's world with genuine enthusiasm ((CD) RD87774, 8/88), as I do also this follow-up . . . . Vivaldi's affection for the cello is evident in the number and quality of his concertos for it, which is good enough reason for an integral recording of them. . . . There is a wealth of virtuosic writing in the outer movements, in the most filigree of which Harnoy's bow dances with the steps of an agile fairy. Regarding her playing in general I refer the reader to my previous Vivaldi review, whose encomium is herewith reinforced. . . . This very well recorded disc is a 'must' for anyone who does not suffer from Vivaldi-, cello- or general baroque-phobia, and it might easily cure those who do." -- John Duarte, Gramophone
