At the present time Vivaldi's music is enjoying a renewed life. His
music is played in the concert halls and on the radio, and has been
extensively recorded. Public interest in the composer is
tremendous; yet until recently there has not been any book in
English to which the reader could turn for information on his life
and work. Marc Pincherle's book fills this need perfectly. His aim
is to present the life and music of Vivaldi to those generally
musical readers who do not claim specialized knowledge. He has made
wide use of contemporary writings which are delightfully evocative
of the Venice in which Vivaldi lived and worked. He follows the
events of the composer's life and then proceeds to a detailed
consideration of his music, discussing Vivaldi the violinist, the
symphonist, the composer of concertos, of opera and of sacred
music. Finally he describes the incalculable influence that Vivaldi
exercised on Italian, French, English, and German composers, and
most especially on the music of Bach.
