Vivaldi fans lend me your ears for a moment...


Being a fan of Vivaldi's music but not completely fluent I need a little help. There is a piece of music that I am pretty sure is vivaldi playing when you first enter this website http://www.claytonaudio.com could one of you kind folks help me figure out what the title of this piece is so I can add it to my collection and if you have any favorite recordings of it please share it with me :o) Thanks you.

Let's look at the bigger picture with Vivaldi and Four Seasons which are just the 1st four concertos of Op.8 Trial Between Harmony & Invention. Opus 8 contains 12 concertos total and prices are so cheap you should get a budget 2CD of all 12 concertos.......otherwise you will just get some random filler works stuck on to fill out CD.
All 12 concertos are very good not just 1st four.

Do the same with other main concerto collections:

Opus 3 L'estro Armonico, 12 concertos
Opus 4 La Stravaganza, 12 concertos
Opus 9 La Cetra, 12 concertos
Opus 10 Flute Concertos, 6 total

From here you can branch out to other more specialized instrument concertos:
basson, obe, guitar, lute, cello, mandolin etc.

This composer was very prolific and has very large body of work to explore.
Try the 'Bis'# 275 version--puts all I've ever heard on the back burner.Nils Erick Sparf-- Drot. Home Baroque.
I will third Auaarons' recommendation. "L'estro Armonico" and Nigel Kennedy comes close, but no one matches the sheer exuberance of Fabio Biondi, especially in that 3rd movement of Summer.
