Intro looks great, thx.
The violinist I know was not aware of this series so she’s putting it on watch list.

“When I was in college...”

Were you in college before 1926?

Oh, that looks so interesting! Thanks. Bookmarked. :)

"some say Vivaldi wrote the same concerto 400 times. That's not true. He wrote the same 2 concertos 200 times"

Yet another very funny variation on a theme.

[Romulus]

I am a fan, and have heard LOTS more. Mandolin concerti, concerto for 2 trumpets. Lots more.

But my current passion is Albinoni.

This is fantastic. Lost Vivaldi compositions found! Words fail.

I think that this is something I should have studied a half century or more ago. I’ve been walking around with my face hanging out, thinking I was educated, and all the while I was totally unaware of this great artist.

Discovering Arcimboldo made me significantly happier tonight. I really didn’t expect to encounter anything like this. Thanks.

:^) My first exposure was probably a dimly remembered art example in an encyclopedia, followed a bit later by the cover of a Kansas album. His best known work(s) is the Four Seasons; those were popular and his patron had him paint new versions (not just copies) to give as gifts to other notables of Europe.

My pleasure.
