Album: Vivaldi, The French Connection, (Avie)
Violinist Adrian Chandler’s latest recording with his effervescent ensemble, La Serenissima, focuses on three of Vivaldi’s “Paris Concertos” for strings and continuo.

Chandler, flautist Katy Bircher and bassoonist Peter Whelan play a further series of exacting concertos with the effortless musicality of birds.
