VIVALDI: The Four Seasons, Violin Concertos RV171, 163<br />
Europa Galante<br />
Fabio Biondi<br />
RELEASE DATE<br />
<strong>29</strong>TH <strong>JULY</strong> 2013<br />
In the 1980s violinist Fabio Biondi emerged as a free-thinking and passionate adventurer, one of the first in Italy to board<br />
the time machine and re-explore this repertoire. To find a modern way of using the expressive instruments of the 18th<br />
century, he had to go back to the drawing board, with his Europa Galante orchestra, founded in 1989.<br />
In 1991, this dazzling interpretation by Europa Galante, the ensemble’s first recording, brought instant recognition,<br />
propelling the ‘Red Priest’ into the modern world. Fabio Biondi’s ensemble – featuring harpsichordist Rinaldo<br />
Alessandrini, another pioneer of the baroque renaissance with his own Concerto Italiano – gives the impression of<br />
overflowing off the concert stage. Vivaldi not only enjoys a second coming, but returns rejuvenated.<br />
