Description: Given the impressive current catalogue of recordings of Vivaldi's music, it's a bit hard to believe that there is no recording of his very first publication: these suite-like trio sonatas which were issued in 1705. The first eleven are in four movements, mostly with slow prelude-like beginnings followed by various dance movements while No. 12 is a ten-minute set of variations on the traditional La Folia. 2 CDs. Enrico Gatti, Rossella Croce (violins), Judith-Maria Becker (cello), Monica Pustilnik (archlute), Guido Morini (harpsichord, organ).
