Wonderful music by Vivaldi and more than excellent performance by “I Musici”

As I expected, being italian and 76 and having heard many times “I Musici” to play living in my town during my youth, the CD containing “L’Estro Armonico” by Antonio Vivaldi is wonderful, the best performance I ever heard of this collection of 12 concertos. I have listened to several other performances of “L’Estro Armonico” , done by very famous and good orchestras, for instance “The Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields” directed by Neville Marriner and the english baroque orchestra directed by Christopher Hogwood, but none of them, although very valuable, reaches the extreme high quality of the performance by “I Musici”: Of the several offers of “L’Estro Armonico” performed by “I Musici”, I chose the original recording done by Philips, the firm for which “I Musici” originally played during their musical career. I thought that the original recording would give the best reproduction of their wonderful sound.
