Antonio Vivaldi – The Best of Vivaldi – Vinyl LP

Best Of Vivaldi is an album by Antonio Vivaldi, released in 2024.

In response to the vinyl trend and to expand on the great achievements of Warner Classics’ vinyl composers (Beethoven, Arvo Pärt, Debussy, Piazzolla and more recently Chopin, Mozart and Bach), the new album focuses on a unique and brilliant red-haired priest who spent most of his life in an institute for young girls in Venice: Antonio Vivaldi. After his death in 1741 he fell into oblivion. But with the advent of records and baroque music, his works became some of the most famous in music history, especially the Four Seasons! This new LP presents itself in the same fresh design as the previous version Mozart & Bach and contains highlights of the greatest masterpieces, interpreted by first-class musicians such as Emmanuel Pahud, Philippe Jaroussky, Andrew Parrott & The Taverner Players, Il Giardino Armonico, Fabio Biondi, Ton Koopman and many more.
