Vivaldi for Valentines

CD Details

Vivaldi for Valentines is a 1996 classical compilation from Philips featuring compositions by Antonio Vivaldi performed by Angel Romero, Anna Maria Cotogni, and other musicians. The album focuses on the slower, more lyrical movements from Vivaldi’s works, capturing the romantic spirit associated with Venice. Alongside recognizable pieces like the “Winter” Largo from The Four Seasons and the Guitar Concerto in D, the collection includes lesser-known gems for flute, oboe, violin, and strings that showcase Vivaldi’s gift for gentle, dreamlike melodies.

This single CD contains slow movements and cantabile passages arranged for intimate listening, part of Philips’s Set Your Life to Music series. With a runtime spanning the included tracks and performances that range across various instrumental combinations, this compilation serves as an accessible entry point into Vivaldi’s catalog beyond his most famous work.
