About
On this new release Baltic Baroque Ensemble presents this delightful and not so well-known four sonatas by Antonio Vivaldi for two violins with optional basso continuo. Sonata RV 70 bears the title Prima Suonata Da Camera a 2 Violini anco senza Basso se piace Del Vivaldi − the first chamber sonata for two violins, if desired, to be played without the bass, work by Vivaldi. The titles of the other sonatas vary a little containing an amendment: da suonarsi anco senza Basso (may optionally be performed without the bass). Sonata RV 71 has been numbered 2 by the composer, RV 68, in its turn, 3 and RV 77 has not been given a number at all.

September 2014
The duo-playing of Maria Krestinskaya and Evgeny Sviridov is buoyant, sweetly sinewy, punchily detailed and perfectly matched...This music is light (and at 47 minutes), so is the CD), but it is also fresh, skilfully written and with a creative spark that keeps it always alive. Thoroughly Vivaldian, in other words.
