These performances of Vivaldi’s La Stravaganza – a collection of 12 violin concertos – are truly extravagant. They’re not designed to be listened to in one sitting and shouldn’t be: it’s not the sameness of the orchestration which might get in the way, it’s the intensity with which Vivaldi composed them and the manner in which the remarkable Rachel Podger plays them. Fans of Andrew Manze will love Podger for similar reasons.
While Vivaldi was imitated and paraphrased for several decades in the 18th Century, his style is actually quite inimitable. His admirers could add to but not originate the formula. This is why his singular voice speaks to us now with such genuine directness and individuality. The concertos of La Stravanganza, remarkable for their range of coloration, constitute Vivaldi’s evolving style of extravagance and ecstasy. Immersing herself in the 12 Concertos of La Stravanganza was an intense and exhilarating experience for violinist Rachel Podger, and one which has left her full of wonder at Vivaldi’s seemingly endless capacity for invention.
