Transcription is a process in which a composition is set for a different solo instrument than the one originally intended. In the past, this was a more common practice than today, used for various reasons and purposes. This is also how the idea came about to create six new concertos for solo harpsichord and orchestra by using the original orchestral scores by Antonio Vivaldi and Alessandro Marcello as well as the harpsichord part of Johann Sebastian Bach's transcriptions. This new arrangement by Giulio De Nardo thus offers, on the one hand, the opportunity to expand the repertoire for keyboard instrument and orchestra and, on the other hand, to bring today's listeners, who are already familiar with the original versions, closer to the colours and nuances of this new sound combination with this world premiere recording. Since Bach never personally stayed in Venice, the album title has been placed in inverted commas.
