World premiere recording of Vivaldi's sonata RV 829
In the summer of 2023 Dr. Javier Lupiáñez, musicologist, violist and artistic director of Scaramuccia, identified a new sonata by Vivaldi. He contacted his colleague, also a Vivaldi specialist, Dr. Fabrizio Ammetto, and together they prepared an article for the journal Studi Vivaldiani. After evaluation of the work by the two researchers, the scientific commission of the Istituto Italiano Antonio Vivaldi confirmed Vivaldi's authorship and included the composition in the catalogue with the new number RV 829.
This is Vivaldi's clearest example of a Sonate auf Concertenart, a type of sonata that Vivaldi used as a "visiting card" to display his great skills as a virtuoso. These sonatas are quite unusual in the Italian repertoire before Tartini, making this composition very special, since it dates from around 1712.
