About
These concertos demonstrate an ingenious variety of approaches to one inherent musical problem - how to balance the soft, non-dynamic tone of the recorder with an orchestral accompaniment.
The frequently favoured techniques are to use either upper strings or continuo to support the recorder, but these are seldom used together. Vivaldi employs muted strings in the F major concerto (RV 442) and both he and Sammartini use higher-pitched instruments for greater volume and clarity.
British composer and conductor Richard Harvey is a BAFTA award winner, a respected orchestral conductor and a virtuoso performer on a wide range of Western and exotic instruments. His guitar concerto, 'Concerto Antico', written for the world’s foremost classical guitarist, John Williams, and recorded by him with the London Symphony Orchestra, has resonated with audiences all over the world and won Richard a place in Classic FM’s Composers Hall of Fame.
