O'Stravaganza: Fantasy on Vivaldi and the Celtic music of Ireland
Le Orfanelle della Pietа / Celtic Soloists
CD Album/s : 5454942


Producer Hughes de Courson travels west with Vivaldi to arrange an encounter between the Italian baroque and the Celtic music of Ireland. For this new fusion of musical cultures de Courson and Youenn Le Berre bring together Irish musicians playing traditional instruments, and a baroque ensemble of strings and continuo named after Vivaldi's pupils in Venice, Le Orfanelle della Pieta. Some of the finest musicians from each culture meet to play each other's music, to improvise and exchange musical ideas and to find thrilling correspondences between the furious energy of Vivaldi's Venice and the fiery romance of ancient Ireland.
