"I would suggest to Mr. Medina that Claudio Scimone conducting I Solisti Veneti is the best rendering of Vivaldi's mandolin concertos. Actually, I prefer that conductor and ensemble for any of the Red Priest's compositions. There is one old recording Scimone and I Solisti Veneti made about 20 years ago which included the violin concerto discordato that hasn't been matched by any other ensemble or conductor since."
Excellent

"I don't understand the comment by one reviewer on the poor quality of the recording...it's quite decent although it's true that the volume of the mandolin is a bit high...; I also have recordings by I Solisti Veneti, yes very good, but I don't think that they've recorded the same works anyway ; the big advantage of this CD is definitely the selection of concertos and sonatas."
Buy this NOW!!!

"this cd is awesome! I have never heard anything so good in my entire life. Seriously, you should buy this and buy one for your friend too. It is sooooo good. And that mandolin playing certainly is "miraculous." In fact, I recommend anything with Peter Press in it. I have been to many of his shows over the years and am consistently blown away. He is the man and everyone knows it."
Beautiful rendition of Vivaldi's works for strings

"If you like music for strings, do yourself a BIG favor and buy this cd! This is lovely. I agree with the person who commented that it's a "must have" for your collection."
