Antonio Vivaldi is a solo artist associated with IT whose catalog here spans 1952–2005. The artist is connected with Baroque, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Baroque shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “L’Estro armonico, op. 3 no. 1 in D major for Four Violins: I. Allegro”, “L’Estro armonico, op. 3 no. 1 in D major for Four Violins: II. Largo e spiccato”, “L’Estro armonico, op. 3 no. 1 in D major for Four Violins: III.

Then move to “L’Estro armonico: 12 Concerti for String Orchestra” and “The Four Seasons” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
