Antonio Vivaldi, composer, violinist and priest, born in Venice, was the most influential Italian composer of his generation. His music was neglected for many decades after his death but rediscovered in the 20th century and works such as The Four Seasons now rank worldwide among the most frequently performed and recorded Baroque music.
Vivaldi's prolific output comprised over 500 concertos. Furthermore, Vivaldi contributed a huge quantity of vocal music with Masses, psalms, motets, solo cantatas, and over 20 operas. Mandolin Concerto in C major is brimming over with vitality and melodic inventiveness while allowing the mandolinist scope for expressiveness and virtuosity.
