Vivaldi’s Concerti for Strings
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, November 4, 2018 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Antonio Vivaldi composed approximately 500 concertos for various instrumentations. Many of us are familiar with his violin, guitar, and recorder concertos, but he also wrote a number of concertos for strings without designated soloists. This week we’ll listen to the 1997 Naxos album Vivaldi: Concerti for Strings which features the ensemble Accademia dei Filharmonici (Academy of the Philharmonics) of Verona performing a set of concertos with this particular instrumentation.
We’ll also chat with Jamie DeMent, a North Carolina writer, chef, farmer and restaurant owner who has a couple of cookbooks exploring Southern and seasonal foods.
