VIVALDI/CHEDEVILLE: Complete Recorder Sonatas from 'Il Pastor Fido' [CD de audio] Collegium Pro Musica, Stefano Bagliano and Viv

The baroque recorder sonatas on this CD are titled Il Pastor Fido, a very popular work by Giovanni Guarini, which inspired many composers with its sensual, pastoral and romantic atmosphere. The sonatas were attributed to Antonio Vivaldi (due to the commercial power of his fame) until proof was found in 1990 that they were written by the French composer Nicolas Chédeville, who took material from Vivaldi and other composers, and developed it in the same style. . Excellent performances by the Ensemble Pro Musica, elite players of the Italian early music scene: Stefano Bagliano (recorder), Andrea Coen (harpsichord and organ). Extensive notes on the history of this exquisite and charming music in English and Italian in the booklet.
