DESCRIPTION:
Vivaldi Cello Concerto in D Major, RV 403. Cello soloist James Yoo performing with the "Camerata" ensemble of The Academy of Chamber Music Performance.

Antonio Vivaldi's Cello Concerto RV 403, in D major, belongs to the set compiled around 1730 The concerto's first movement, with its jerky dotted rhythms and energetic sweeps (tirate), conforms to what Vivaldi's Italian contemporaries knew as the 'French' style and associated with the world of pomp and ceremonial. Interestingly, the solo part displays these features only during one brief moment, as if Vivaldi wished to set up an opposition between 'French' tutti sections and 'Italian' solo sections. In the first two movements (the slow movement is also in D major) and most of the finale, the music remains resolutely diatonic and in the grip of the major mode, but in the final solo of the work chromatic and pathetic inflections at last come to the fore: Vivaldi knows that, as in any good narrative, the final triumph needs to be preceded by the stiffest challenge.
