Handel/ Ensemble L'Ornamento - Handel & Vivaldi: Concerti e Arie

Playing with a fine synthesis of perfectly interlocking elements that can only be forged through years of collaboration, Italy's Ensemble l'Ornamento's second release engages with two of the great masters of the Baroque era, Antonio Vivaldi and George Frideric Handel. Spotlighting concertos and duos along with the distinctive transcriptions of Handel arias, l'Ornamento's credo to make a recording that "... raises certain expectations, which we intend to thwart in surprising and, hopefully, charming ways." is vividly demonstrated in this collection
