Zdzislaw Szostak conducts the National Radio Symphony Orchestra of Poland and Janusz Skramlik (violin), Andrzej Euzynski (cello) and Eugeniusz Manczyk (harpsichord) in a performance of Concerto's No. 12 (RV 265), No. 7 (RV 567) and No. 4 (RV 550) from Antonio Vivaldi's Op. 3 'L'estro armonico'. The set of 12 concertos for stringed instruments were first published in Amsterdam in 1711. It is Vivaldi's first collection of concertos appearing in print. He composed a few concertos specifically for L'estro armonico, while other concertos of the set had been composed at an earlier date. Vivaldi scholar Michael Talbot described the set as 'perhaps the most influential collection of instrumental music to appear during the whole of the eighteenth century'. Recorded in Pszczyna Castle, Poland in 1995.
