Vivaldi: La Porte Delle Muse / Deuter, Waisman, Harmonie Universelle, Vivaldi / Harmonie Universelle / Waisman, Release Date: 01/31/2012, Composer: Antonio Vivaldi, Performer: Florian Deuter, Monica Waisman, Conductor: Florian Deuter, Orchestra/Ensemble: Harmonie Universelle, Number of Discs: 1. Review: "I cannot say enough goods things about this disc and, though I'd love to spend another 500 words extolling the virtues movement-by-movement in each concerto, I simply say to you, get this and listen. There are, of course, several competing versions of these concertos, particularly by La Magnifica Comunità in the massive boxed set on Brilliant Classics 94056, or Concerto Italiano on Naïve, but to be truthful, those performances, crisp and professional as they are, do not sound like these. You won't hear Vivaldi much more creative than this, or much more creatively interpreted. This is, quite simply, a group of sheer genius." FANFARE: Lynn René Bayley
