Review title: Still outstanding after all these years
Product review: I have owned this set for over 20 years now and have never tired of hearing it - a sure guide to long-lasting quality.Since 1987 there has been a revolution in Vivaldi playing led by some notably wonderful Italian groups and soloists. Generally they have taken a dramatic, free-wheeling approach to Vivaldi and at markedly up-tempo speeds. The dynamic and emotional range and observation of accenting has become far more acute as a result.BUT ..............There is still no real substitute for this relatively plain and level-headed account played and recorded supremely well. If that sounds dull then the first paragraph above should be reassuring. This set oozes sheer musicianship at every level.I would therefore suggest that among the many pearls of Vivaldi's music available on disc today this still holds its metaphorical head up high. If the program appeals I would suggest that this disc warrants very serious consideration indeed.
