Info for Vivaldi: Flute Concertos, Op. 10

"Il Prete Rosso" - the red priest, Antonio Vivaldi got this nickname because of his red hair. He came to the famous Venetian girls' orphanage Ospedale della Pietà as a young priest and violin teacher. There he also became acquainted with the instrument of the transverse flute, which was new at that time, played at the Ospedale by a girl called "Lucieta traversie". Vivaldi recognised the technical and expressive possibilities of the transverse flute and used it in a wide variety of genres.

With his six Concerti a Flauto traverso, Opus 10, he presented an entire collection of concertos for this new instrument for the first time in 1729. To this end, he reworked earlier concertos for other instruments and added a new concerto to make a very successful collection that was printed in the Netherlands. Like the famous "Seasons", three of the concertos have a programmatic character: Vivaldi combines rhythmic and harmonic elements, for example, to give musical form to the waves in La Tempesta di mare, the chirping in Il Gardellino or the ghosts and sleep in La notte.

Auser Musici

Carlo Ipata
Ipata’s musical career has been characterized since the beginning by a passion for early music as an inexhaustible source of knowledge of the history and the aesthetics that today are still distinguishing our culture.

With the Auser Musici components, who have been chosen among the best Italian and European musicians, he explored the enormous unpublished theatrical and instrumental repertoire of the Renaissance and Baroque period, basing his choices on historically informed principles.

With Auser Musici he directed the first modern performances of Operas such as Le disgrazie d’Amore bu Antonio Cesti, Il Bajazet by Francesco Gasparini, Catone by Georg Friedrick Haendel, Il Girello by Antonio Melani.

He has also directed the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Didone abbandonata by Leonardo Vinci and the Orchestra Arché in Il convitato di pietra by Giacomo Tritto.

As a soloist he has received the Gramophone’s Editor’s Choice for the first volume of Neapolitan Flute Concertos (Hyperion).

He lives in Pisa with Celine, Emma, Francesco and Lucien.
