If you want to hear Vivaldi concertos without the orchestration, and you like pipe organ, this CD is for you. You can listen to it again and again, and never get tired of it. If you're looking for some encapsulated Vivaldi and are uncertain as to what to buy, there's so much out there, get this CD.
Or, let me say it like this: If I could only own ONE CD, this would be the one. Strong statement, but you get the idea.
The beauty of this CD is that it combines two very important factors: Vivaldi and the pipe organ, and creates a most listenable and relaxing musical mood. Vivaldi concertos are usually in three parts each: Allegro, Adagio, Allegro (or close to that), that is, fast, slow, fast, and were composed for a small chamber ensemble. Vivaldi himself was primarily a violinist, and wrote what you hear on this CD for ensemble, not for pipe organ. They transcribe very well to pipe organ.
Solo Vivaldi can also be found in several of J.S. Bach's solo harpsichord transcriptions of Vivaldi concertos.
Vivaldi without chamber ensemble is still Vivaldi at his best.
