Vivaldi - Cupido tu vedi Concerti e cantate Raffaella Milanesi (soprano), Laura Colucci, Manuel Granatiero (recorders) & Marco Ceccato (cello) Accademia Ottoboni Stefano Bagliano is a flautist (recorder/flauto dolce) achieving a mounting appreciation internationally. In this new recording from Stradivarius, dedicated to Antonio Vivaldi’s Concertos, one of the pinnacles of 18th century flute technique, Bagliano plays recorder and conducts ‘his’ Collegium Pro Musica, an ensemble specialising in XVII and XVIII- century repertoire, performed in accordance with the style of that age and using copies of original instruments. he peculiar feature of this record is the great variety of the musical styles represented: instrumental and vocal music, very-well known concertos and other less famous ones of different soloists. A release that finds its strength in the specific expressive nature of Vivaldi’s genius that gave cohesiveness to pieces conceived years apart and for different occasions. The brilliant Italian soprano Raffaella Milanesi shares the stage with the soloists of Accademia Ottoboni, an ensemble that performs early music using original period instruments or copies. The ensemble originates from Rome and consists of musicians of the most recent generation active in the international scene. Classic FM MagazineNovember 2010 Soprano Raffaella Milanesi is really a mezzo in her warm, dark tone and fruity low range. She's expressively indignant in the disc's title track, Cupido tu vedi Gramophone MagazineNovember 2010 At full strength in these concertos, the band consists of just 10 players, with mostly single strings per part; they perform collectively with spirited vigour in quick music and gentleness in slow movements...Vivaldians need not hesitate.
