La Dolce Stravaganza - The Counterpoints

Dutch recorder wizard hijacks concertos of Vivaldi Wat do you do as a recorder player and Vivaldi fan with a chronic concerto shortage? You copypaste his violin, oboe, and lute concertos to your own instrument! Thomas Triesschijn edited a selection from ‘L'estro armonico’ and ‘La Stravaganza’ for different recorder types. The result does justice to the versatility of the eternally underestimated instrument: sweetly singing in lyrical passages, viciously virtuoso in fast movements, touch-me-not in the most theatrical orchestral dialogues. For those who were still doubting whether the Dutch recorder school is booming: on your nose.
