Vivaldi had a unique style that was most unmannered for Baroque music and it's always fun for a string player who is more accustomed to playing the fiery music of Stravinsky or Richard Strauss to cut loose on some of his sinfonias! He was also a huge influence for the violin virtuoso Niccolo Paganini, who changed the landscape considerably, not just for violinists, but violists, as well! Thanks for the portrayal of one of my nearest and dearest!
