Susan Orlando – Vivaldi Edition

The Vivaldi Collection

For more than 15 years, the Naïve recording label has been releasing performances of a huge collection of autograph manuscripts by Antonio Vivaldi contained in an archive in Turin, Italy. The extensive and varied contents illuminate the extent of Vivaldi’s prolific and creative genius: an extraordinary cross-section of concertos, operas, and sacred music. Susan Orlando is the artistic director of the project, and she recalled one super-fan’s message that the project should be worthy of a Nobel Prize because of its power to be “better than Prozac” in helping her stay relaxed and content. Susan Orlando spoke with Sunday Baroque host Suzanne Bona via Skype about the Vivaldi Edition.
