//A. Vivaldi
Concerti per due violini
Vivaldi's double concert resembles a joust: "the banners are raised, the spectators comment, analyze, compare, speculate, the betting counter is open," writes Olivier Fourés. But he clarifies that the joust is actually a charade. "A scene from the theater where two individuals within a group meet, challenge, and comfort each other at the same time." There will certainly be a comparison between the two protagonists, but ultimately the triumph will be collective.

Booklet
The Guardian | Nicholas Kenyon
« Are there still revelations to be heard in new Vivaldi concerto recordings? There certainly are in this dazzling, extrovert collection of concertos all for two violins – like a tennis match in music, the two protagonists toss figures, rhythms and phrases across the net with ever-increasing excitement and intensity. [...]Giuliano Carmignola and Amandine Beyer match perfectly. A winner.»
