An exciting programme of rare concertos by the greatest masters
In the last of La Serenissima’s programmes exploring the north Italian violin concerto, they examine the influence of Vivaldi on his younger contemporaries. Included are works by Visconti, allegedly a teacher of Tartini; Tartini, whose consolidation of violin technique bridged the gap between the baroque and classical styles and Locatelli, who continued to write in an Italian style even after his move to Amsterdam.
