| Home | Recorder Music | Composers V | Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) |
According to The New Penguin Dictionary of Music, Antonio Vivaldi was an Italian violinist and composer; also priest, nicknamed "the red priest" from the colour of his hair. Pupil of Legrenzi. Long in charge of music at an orphanage-conservatory in Venice, but died in obscure circumstances in Vienna. Wrote more than 450 concertos (broadly conforming to the concerto grosso type) with various solo instruments, many with illustrative titles e.g. "The Four Seasons"; also operas, church music, oratorios, including "Juditha Triumphans". Johann Sebastian Bach admired him and transcribed many of his works and there has been a notable revival of interest in his works in the mid-20th century.
