You don't change a winning team. so here is the second volume of the Vivaldi Edition's complete recording of the chamber concertos and cantatas with L'Astrée,whose performances have already set new standards in this repertoire. (To mark the occasion, the first volume is at last reissued in a new presentation). As in the previous release in the series (with the mezzo-soprano Laura Polverelli), three concertos are here juxtaposed with three chamber cantatas, offering another chance to confirm the Prete rosso's inexhaustible inventiveness in these two genres, which gave him as much scope for instrumental and vocal virtuosity as his concertos with orchestra or his operas. In the concerto RV 100, we get a genuine dialogue between flute, violin, and bassoon, with the latter exploited for both its expressive range of colours and its great agility; in RV 92 and RV 108, it is the recorder's skill that is sorely tested. As to the cantatas, this time for soprano and continuo, they demand a soloist with faultless technique and a highly dramatic temperament: the almost hysterical outbursts, the acrobatic leaps, and the perilous series of top Cs in Geme l'onda are certainly not within the grasp of just any soprano! This is why L'Astrée have called on one of the most eminent Vivaldians of our day, the marvellous Gemma Bertagnolli, whose recent performances with Alessandrini and de Marchi have been universally acclaimed, and who achieves fresh triumphs here.
