The Istituto Per I Beni Musicali In Piemonte  is undertaking the effort to record a rare treasure: the manuscript library of Antonio Vivaldi, located at the Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria di Torino. Over 450 manuscripts with a wealth of variety are being organized into sections of sacred and secular music, concertos for strings, individual instruments, vocal cantatas, operas, etc. These recordings are being recorded with the finest musicians in the field of historically informed performances, and published by the label Naive/Opus111. This effort is expected to take another 10 years, with at least one operatic work each season. Its purpose is to reconstruct Vivaldi's personal library, and preserve an outstanding collection of eighteenth century music.

Customer Review
none available at amazon. I absolutely love this album. The violin concerti are presented in a powerful, fluent fashion and you can hear the infinite variety of Vivaldi's compositions. Ok, I am biased, because I kinda love most of Vivaldi's music since a friend got me interested about 3 weeks ago, but his violin concertos I like the best. And this collection of concertos is done very well. The artists show their talent and you can hear, as in all of the Vivaldi Edition albums I listened to so far, how much passion and love they have for this music. Highly recommended for any lover of baroque music, and also for folks just curious about this type of music.
