Rarely did Antonio Vivaldi play his bassoon concerto with Sophie Dervaux and the Baroque La Folia Orchestra, which sounds graceful and fresh.
It's always worth taking a look beyond The Four Seasons with Antonio Vivaldi. Anyway, soloist Sophie Dervaux is busy advertising, in two ways: for Vivaldi's Bassoon Concerto, which is seen as somewhat obscure, and for herself. The six works presented here live from the freshness of the performance, from the agility of the movements in the fast movements and from the musicality and intellectual depth in the slow passages that make it easy to listen to this recording twice in a row. The La Folia Baroque Orchestra also makes a decisive contribution to the success, supporting each tone with every accent and giving the elegiac passages great thought. Orchestra and soloist are in constant and extensive exchange. A representative example of this is the “La Notte” concerto, which is the only one on this album that contains four movements and a kaleidoscope of different forms of expression.
