Vivaldi: Dixit Dominus

Clive OConnell [The Age, 10 August 2005]

To celebrate a musicological feat achieved by Janice Stockigt from Melbourne University, the faculty of music's Early Music Studio orchestra gave a small taste of the work that she recently identified as a composition by Antonio Vivaldi. Vivaldi not only composed the well-known The Four Seasons violin concertos but also had a powerful impact on his contemporaries such as J. S. Bach, who transcribed and adapted many of the Italian master's concertos.
