From the back of the CD:
THE STORIES OF VIVALDI (1678-1741) AND CORELLI (1653-1713)
DID YOU KNOW. . .
Corelli published only six sets of instrumental works, yet he was famous throughout Europe and an important influence on many younger composers.
Modern violin technique owes its start to Corelli, himself a brilliant performer. As a conductor he insisted on orchestral discipline.
Vivaldi wrote over 450 concertos. They standardized the form and served as models for others throughout the early eighteenth century.
Vivaldi, who took holy orders, was known as the 'Red Priest' because of his hair color. Though famous, he died in obscurity in Vienna; his music was forgotten until the mid-twentieth century.
Narrated by Arthur Hannes
