Anyone hearing these sonatas for the first time will be surprised, perhaps even irritated. Of course, this is unmistakably Vivaldi, but in his op. 2 he draws on stylistic elements from Corelli, often going beyond the old master harmonically and disturbing the evenness of Corelli's formal structures with his often irrational, sometimes witty ideas. Serino plays the works on the Stradivarius from 1720 ex Von Beckerath.
