A special collaboration with Gotham Early Music Scene (GEMS) and Voices of Music: Vivaldi’s “Emperor” Concerto in D Major, performed on original instruments. Augusta McKay Lodge, baroque violin. The opening Allegro combines grand scales with trumpet like flourishes, and includes one of the original cadenzas from the time of Vivaldi. This concerto is one of the ones Bach selected to transcribe for organ as BWV 594.
