On this valuable new recording, Mario Folena and Roberto Loreggian offer what seems to be all that is left of Vivaldi’s output for the genre, informed by the latest scholarship and in delightful and lively period-instrument recordings. They couple it not with the previously recorded ‘Il Pastor Fido’ sonatas, but with a genuine rarity: an arrangement of ‘Spring’ from The Four Seasons made by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the composer and philosopher who argued that, in politics as in music, Man should return to first principles. 00:00:00 Sonata in C Major, RV 48, for flute and basso continuo: [Preludio] 00:00:45 Sonata in C Major, RV 48, for flute and basso continuo: Affettuoso 00:04:43 Sonata in C Major, RV 48, for flute and basso continuo: Allegro assai 00:06:59 Sonata in C Major, RV 48, for flute and basso continuo: Larghetto 00:09:11 Sonata in C Major, RV 48, for flute and basso continuo: Allegro 00:11:21 Sonata in G Major, RV 80, for two flutes and b.c.: Allegro 00:13:48 Sonata in G Major, RV 80, for two flutes and b.c.: Larghetto 00:15:23 Sonata in G Major, RV 80, for two flutes and b.c.: Allegro 00:17:11 Sonata in D Minor, RV 49, for flute and b.c.: Preludio 00:19:56 Sonata in D Minor, RV 49, for flute and b.c.: Siciliana 00:22:26 Sonata in D Minor, RV 49, for flute and b.c.: Sarabanda 00:24:25 Sonata in D Minor, RV 49, for flute and b.c.: Allegro 00:25:49 Le Printemps de Vivaldi arrangé pour une Flûte sans accompagnement (1775) in D Major: Allegro 00:29:22 Le Printemps de Vivaldi arrangé pour une Flûte sans accompagnement (1775) in D Major: Largo 00:31:50 Le Printemps de Vivaldi arrangé pour une Flûte sans accompagnement (1775) in D Major: Allegro 00:36:07 Sonata in G Minor, RV 51, for flute and b.c.: [Preludio] 00:36:42 Sonata in G Minor, RV 51, for flute and b.c.: Largo 00:39:19 Sonata in G Minor, RV 51, for flute and b.c.: Allegro 00:41:17 Sonata in G Minor, RV 51, for flute and b.c.: [Recitativo] 00:41:59 Sonata in G Minor, RV 51, for flute and b.c.: Andante 00:44:50 Sonata in G Minor, RV 51, for flute and b.c.: Allegro 00:46:34 Sonata in E Minor, RV 50, for flute and b.c.: Andante 00:51:20 Sonata in E Minor, RV 50, for flute and b.c.: Siciliano 00:54:14 Sonata in E Minor, RV 50, for flute and b.c.: Allegro 00:56:21 Sonata in E Minor, RV 50, for flute and b.c.: Arioso 00:59:04 Sonata in A Major, RV 800, for two flutes and b.c.: Allegro 01:01:11 Sonata in A Major, RV 800, for two flutes and b.c.: Andante 01:02:51 Sonata in A Major, RV 800, for two flutes and b.c.: Allegro
