The Italian Music interpreted by a great Italian violinist

In its different manifestations and through its impact on human life, nature had fascinated the Venetian Vivaldi, superb magician of representation. Master and innovation model, he inspired more than half a century of European classical music with his first collection of concerts for one, two and four violins: L’Estro Armonico. A luxurious bouquet from this opera by the famous Venetian composer, enriched with some flute pieces, is offered by Arion and by the Italian violinist Enrico Onofri.
