Baroque beauty of harmony woven by an intricate ensemble.
I Musici presents a collection of Vivaldi's works. It contains all 12 pieces from "The Inspiration of Harmony," and the well-balanced dialogue between the ensemble and soloists is impressive.
I Musici's meticulous ensemble playing and well-balanced tempo are striking. The dialogue between the soloists and ensemble is smooth, vividly demonstrating the clarity of Baroque music. The violins' sound is transparent, and the basso continuo provides solid support. The recording maintains the naturalness of the reverberation while ensuring clarity in each voice, allowing the overlapping of sounds to be heard in exquisite detail. The articulation is clear, adhering to the classical style while possessing a lively drive. A performance that achieves the ideal balance and beauty of Baroque music.
