Vivaldi / Biondi / Europa Galante - Concerti Per Violino Xi Per Anna Maria - Music CD

Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante expand the Vivaldi Edition with this eleventh volume of violin concertos; bearing the name of one of the most famous performers of the early eighteenth century; Anna Maria. A child prodigy and an exceptional performer from the Ospedale della Piet where Vivaldi taught for forty years; Anne Maria was an accomplished violinist; but also skilled on the viola d'amore and theorbo; as well as the harpsichord; cello; lute and mandolin. Her reputation travelled throughout Europe; and we know that her repertoire included at least twenty-four concertos dedicated to her by Vivaldi.
