A. Vivaldi: "Largo" from piccolo concerto in C major (RV443) /// pan flute & church organ ///

Описание: For the concerts Vivaldi wrote some 500 concertos for various solo instruments, or combinations of solo instruments, and string orchestra. About one-half of them were for violin – hardly surprising considering that Vivaldi was a celebrated violinist. The rest included works for bassoon, cello, oboe, flute, viola d’amore, recorder and mandolin.

In addition, Vivaldi wrote three concertos for “flautino” and orchestra, including the one we hear this evening. Since the term “flautino” was not generally used in Vivaldi’s day, scholars have speculated ever since about what instrument Vivaldi had in mind. The leading candidates are the small sopranino recorder and the flageolet, an end-blown flute, but the former is usually preferred since Vivaldi specifically designated the flageolet when he used it.

At any rate, later in the 18th century the transverse flute replaced both the recorder and the flageolet in general use, and a new edition of RV 443 was published for the piccolo, a member of the flute family.
