Info (Hyperion):

If Vivaldi’s career as a composer of violin concertos can be said to have come of age with the publication in 1711 of his Op 3, L’estro armonico, his set of twelve Sonate a violino e basso per il cembalo, Op 2, form a similar landmark in respect of the violin sonata. The success of Op 2, which was unquestionably greater than that of the trio sonatas that Vivaldi had published as his Op 1 in 1705, is reflected in their subsequent history. The Amsterdam publisher Estienne Roger brought out a handsome engraved edition in 1712 which was followed closely by a pirated edition from John Walsh and John Hare in London. Broadly speaking, the Op 2 works are styled as ‘chamber’ sonatas on the model of the last six works in Corelli’s highly influential Op 5 set, the movements being largely selected from the five favoured dance-types: allemanda, corrente, sarabanda, gavotta and giga; but what lends these sonatas special distinction and sets them apart from their counterparts in the music of other composers writing in an immediately post-Corellian style is not ultimately their form but their manner of expression: long-breathed and passionate to the point of obsession.

Reviews:
Gramophone
This magnificent disc is complemented by an authoritative essay by Professor Michael Talbot. My only regret is that Hyperion has no plans to complete the set with a second volume. The quality of these performances beg for a prompt sequel.

International Record Review
Wallfisch could hardly ask for more attentively responsive support than she receives from Richard Tunnicliffe and Malcolm Proud, and she also has the inestimable advantage of a typically lucid and atmospheric Martin Compton/Julian Millard recording. Add to this an authoritative note by Vivaldi scholar Michael Talbot and Wallfisch sweeps the board in this repertoire.

Goldberg Early Music Magazine
The most striking feature of the violin writing is its intense lyricism and it is this that above all marks out Elizabeth Wallfisch's utterly musical and near-flawlessly executed performances … The remaining sonatas are impatiently awaited.

Early Music Review
Elizabeth Wallfisch is absolutely faultless on this excellent CD.
