Very Good - DELETE

Throughout his life, Antonio Vivaldi never elaborated on the sources of inspiration for his compositions. The obvious closeness of his concertos to gypsy music makes tempting to surmise that music from Eastern Europe may have exerted a great fascination on a composer like Vivaldi. The '''Uhrovska''' collection (named for the eponymous town in present-day Slovakia where it was found) is a fascinating document of 350 melodies that provides a direct glimpse into the world of gypsy music. We hope that the listener will be inclined to share our enthusiasm for this unusual but fascinating musical encounter.'' Tout au long de sa vie, Antonio Vivaldi ne s'est jamais confi quant ses sources d'inspiration musicale. Or, ses concertos laissent entendre une affinit vidente avec la musique gitane et nous permettent de prsumer aisment que la musique gitane, ardente et nergique, ait exerc une grande fascination chez Vivaldi. La collection ''Uhrovska'', qui tire son nom de la ville ponyme de Slovaquie o elle ft dcouverte, est un document musical fascinant de 350 mlodies qui nous offre un contact direct avec la musique gitane. Cet enregistrement offre ainsi une rencontre de styles autant inhabituelle que fascinante.
