Why the devil the cover of this superbe Vivaldi album sports a doctored photo of a car built in Torino between 1957 and 1975, whereas these double concertos were written around 250 years earlier for Venice, nobody knows. But the result remains a miracle, and a triple miracle too : first, that the recording could take place since it has been sponsored by crowdfunding ; second, that the instrumental quality of La Serenissima and the soloists is so exquisite ; and third, that Vivaldi wrote so many highly original double concertos, some of which for « odd » couples – oboe and bassoon, violin and cello etc. –, others for pairs such as two oboes, two horns (a great rarity in these times). The album, after half a dozen double concertos, ends with another rarity : the Concerto per S.A.S.I.S.P.G.M.D.G.S.M.B. – yes, that’s the very title given by Vivaldi himself. Far from being a simple double concerto, is is one for three duets – two horns, two oboes, violin-cello, plus an additional bassoon – in which the composer explores all imaginable arrangements between groups. Whoever said, a few decades ago, that Vivaldi had written the same lame concerto five hundred times again and again (yes, Mr Stravinsky, that’s you we’re talking about) had no idea of what was available in the Vivaldian treasure trove. Ah yes, and as for the cryptic title : the hypothesis per Sua Altezza Serenissima il Signor Principe Giuseppe Maria de’ Gonzaga (or else di Guastalla) Signor Moi Benignissimo seems at least credible… © SM/Qobuz
