Under the HR Recordings label by EMEC Discos, which specializes in 24-bit/96 kHz high-resolution recordings released in Super Audio CD (SACD) format, comes the captivating release of Luce di Venezia. Conducted and performed by virtuoso violinist Alban Beikircher alongside the ensemble L'Estro Armonico, this album stands out for its original structure that intertwines Antonio Vivaldi's famous The Four Seasons concertos with exquisite operatic interludes by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari. This alternation refreshingly breaks the usual linearity of the Baroque masterpiece, providing a rich timbral contrast that culminates intimately with the Duet in G minor, Op. 33b alongside cellist Michael Kevin Jones.

The project gains immense educational and family value by incorporating a children's story narrated in German by actress Cosima Seitz, designed to immerse young listeners into Vivaldi's creative process.

Recorded with high-fidelity microphones in the magnificent library of the Landesakademie in Ochsenhausen, this double disc is an essential audiophile piece for both rigorous collectors and home enjoyment.
