Biagio Marini (1594-1663) · Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)

This interesting DVD shows the history of two great Italian musicians in the period of their lives in which their activities took them to Vicenza, worldwide known as the “city of Palladio”.
Biagio Marini – whose works constitute a cornerstone in the history of violin technique – was choirmaster of the Vicenza Cathedral from 1655, while Antonio Vivaldi in 1713 directed (and played the part of the principal violin) in Vicenza his play Ottone in Villa and his oratorio La vittoria navale.
The performance on period instruments takes us back to the atmosphere of the time in the splendid setting of Palazzo Leoni Montanari, a masterpiece of Venetian late seventeenth century
