Modo Antiquo/Federico Maria Sardelli Naïve OP 30534****

The Vivaldi discovery of the century has been the location of a hitherto unknown 1714 version of the opera Orlando Furioso. But don't get your knickers in a twist. That's only just been performed and recorded (the CD is due in November). The operatic discoveries on this new CD are two arias which turned up in Belgium from L'inganno trionfante in amore, and a reconstruction of another two, found in reductions in Berlin, all characterfully sung by soprano Ann Hallenberg. There is also an energetically bristling, newly authenticated Violin Concerto in A minor (from Dresden) and two Violin Sonatas (from London), played by Anton Steck. And from Edinburgh, there's the Flute Concerto in D minor, RV431a, Il gran Mogul (played by Alexis Kossenko) better known in a later and simpler version than this one from Scotland. url.ie/8fjv
