As with most other Naxos recordings of Vivaldi's concertos, the interpretations are lively and musical. Some of the concertos demand virtuosic skills from the players, which the two oboists here, Stefan Chilli and Diethelm Jonas, are able to fulfil with flags wawing. The recordings, which were made in the Festetich castle in Budapest, are excellent. The oboe's sound is rather prominent, but not uncomfortably so; this is no doubt due to the use of a modern oboe instead of a Baroque one.
Vivaldi's concertos are a good reminder that music does not always have to be deep, it is often enough for it to be charming, witty, and skilfully played.
