Vivaldi / Ensemble Volcania / Sepec - Villa Vivaldi Music CD

Joy, despair, love, hate, exuberance: in Vivaldi's music, the outermost extremes of emotion connect within the smallest of spaces. Leaping over genres, "Villa Vivaldi" palpably, audibly, and movingly links Antonio Vivaldi's virtuoso instrumental concerti to modern commissioned works that were written specifically for this program. Every moment on stage can be transformed into magic - that is the conviction of the VOLCANIA ensemble. The musicians find glamor, glow and joie de vivre in Vivaldi's and Bach's scores - and commission living composers to write effective music for their ensemble of international adventurers that ties in with the depths of baroque emotional intensity in today's fashion. The focus is on the encounter: between the musicians and the music, which every evening can turn out differently than rehearsed; and between the musicians and the audience, when the encounter creates the special tension of the concert.
