Grammy-nominated classical mandolinist Avi Avital is an
artist who pushes at boundaries and defies expectations.
With his current recording, however, he brings the mandolin
home, to the music of Antonio Vivaldi, the beloved Venetian
composer whose Mandolin Concerto forms the cornerstone the
Old Testament, says Avital of the instrument s repertoire.
For his third album on Deutsche Grammophon, mandolinist Avi
Avital presents a lively Vivaldi program that includes the
popular Mandolin Concerto in C major, RV 425, as well as
fresh transcriptions of the Violin Concerto in A minor, RV
356, the Lute Concerto in D major, RV 93, the Largo from
the Piccolo Concerto in C major, RV 443, and the "Summer"
Concerto in G minor from the Four Seasons, RV 315. As
famous as he is for his virtuoso technique, intellectual
clarity, and expressive subtlety, Avital is also becoming
quite well known for expanding the mandolin's repertoire by
adapting works by J.S. Bach for his first album, and
releasing a CD of miniatures soon after. In another show of
generosity, Avital also shares space with other gifted
song, La biondina in gondoleta, the trio of harpsichorist
Mahan Esfahani, lutenist Ophira Zakai, and cellist Patrick
Sepec in Vivaldi's Trio Sonata in C major, RV 82, and the
Venice Baroque Orchestra in the concertos. While the
mandolin's narrow tonal and dynamic ranges might suggest
rather limited musical options, the album succeeds because
of Avital's energetic playing and charismatic interactions
with his fellow musicians, who give everything to these
sparkling performances.
