VA - Vivaldi: Operas Vol. 2 (2013)

This special project gathers the finest arias from the operas released in the naive Vivaldi Edition, to commemorate the 50th title in the series 'Catone in Utica'. Most of those arias were real discoveries, at the time of release, and have become hits that helped to re-establish Vivaldi as a major opera composer. To name a few, Sol da te from Orlando furioso by Philippe Jaroussky, Alma Op-pressa from La fida ninfa by Sandrine Piau, Ho il cor già lacero from Griselda by Marie-Nicole Lemieux, or Gelosia from Ottone in villa by Julia Lezhneva. These arias are performed by a stunning list of virtuoso soloists and orchestras: Vivica Genaux, Marie-Nicole Lemieux, Sandrine Piau, Philippe Jaroussky, Jennifer Larmore, Julia Lezhneva, Topi Lehtipuu, Nathalie Stutzmann, Romina Basso, Lorenzo Regazzo, Ensemble Matheus - Jean-Christophe Spinosi, Le Concert des Nations - Jordi Savall, Concerto Italiano - Rinaldo Alessandrini, Il Giardino Armonico - Giovanni Antonini e.a.
