Certainly these enthusiastic, joyous, and expressive performances demonstrate that we all need to pay closer attention to this particular musical legacy.

The 10 members of L'Arte Dell'Arco clearly relish this music. They play with all of the rhythmic panache we expect from period groups, but they don't drive the music as relentlessly as some, and they aren't afraid to make a warm and beautiful sound in music that benefits from a sunny, relaxed approach. Although Tartini clearly based many of these works on Vivaldi's example, his melodies are more expansive, his structures more developed, and the emphasis on virtuosity is necessarily greater.
