About

The title of this CD Bellezza Crudel means ‘beautiful cruelty’ and the music reflects the Venetian tradition of masquerade and intrigue. This is undoubtedly Vivaldi’s world, one of heartfelt, musical intensity ably realised by Tone Wik on this delightful collection of four Cantatas, interspersed with two Concertos.

Awards and reviews

October 2009

The cantatas are sung by Tone Wik, a Norwegian soprano with a pretty and characterful voice strongly reminiscent at time of the young Emma Kirkby… The instrumental playing from Barokkanerne…of a fine standard, as is that of the nimble concerto soloists; it is a real pleasure to hear Vivaldi's plangent E minor Bassoon Concerto performed with solo strings offering such ardently immediate support.
