Richard Galliano - Vivaldi (2013)

The time of the accordion has arrived. Following a classical chart-topping album by Martynas on Decca, Richard Galliano releases his second album – Vivaldi on the iconic Deutsche Grammophon label.
Three years after the success of his Bach album and after revisiting the music of Nino Rota, accordionist Richard Galliano turns to Baroque music with a new album devoted to Vivaldi. Once again, Richard Galliano has chosen purity and simplicity in recording his own version of The Four Seasons, with his arrangement for accordion and string quintet. Four arias from Vivadi operas, also arranged by Richard Galliano for accordion, complete this imaginative release.
