Vivaldi’s Cello gives listeners a chance to hear a different kind of Vivaldi. Some of the music on this vinyl set was written by the composer to feature the cello of his day, but that’s only half the story. Vivaldi’s Cello couples those scores with music that Vivaldi originally intended for the violin, the viola d’amore or the human voice. Music that’s now been transcribed for the cello.
On this album, Yo-Yo Ma plays the 1712 Stradivarius cello that he had already appropriately altered for the two Simply Baroque recordings he made with Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. Ma also uses a Baroque bow, and he adopted the relative tuning (in which instruments are tuned only in relation to each other) employed by the orchestra. The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra performs on period instruments and uses Baroque performance practices.
Koopman says Vivaldi’s scores were only slightly altered to give voice to the cello. “Vivaldi didn’t write differently for a singer than instrumentally,” says Koopman, “I maybe changed the ornamentation to make it more instrumental. I also looked for pieces for lower voices, so we could leave them in the same key.”
Of course, any notion of this album ignoring what is now Vivaldi’s most famous piece was out of the question. And so in a brief nod to the enduring popularity of The Four Seasons, Ma and Koopman play an arrangement of the throbbing Largo from the work’s “Winter” Concerto. “In Vivaldi’s slow movements, you can play with your heart,” says Koopman. “The music feels at home.”
Vivaldi’s Cello is available as a limited edition of 750 copies on transparent vinyl and includes an insert.

Let customers speak for us
Great re-issue! The first batch of the series (of 5 batches of 3!) Has just arrived and had their first spin. Great sound, silent and flat vinyl. Just the way I have come to expect from Music On Vinyl. Let the next batch come!
The packaging and art is beautiful!! I love the Young-hee pop up!!
Looks great, well packed and fast delivery.
Looking forward to a rainyday to sest a listern to it.
Would recommend and look forward to my next purchase.
Many thank for a great service.👍
Received in excellent condition. Sound quality is exceptional on this vinyl. Very happy with this purchase. Gave my CD to a friend and I’m listening to this great vinyl record now.
Although the sound of this pressing is not spectacular, it is very good! A discogs review claimed that this pressing "taps you on the shoulders and slaps you in the face" but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it does. But I would say that this pressing sounds fresh and more modern thanks to the better low-end this MOV reissue offers.
It's a very dynamic record with lots of detail and it truly is a great reissue. I did notice a remarkable sonic difference on 'Radio Silence', very detailed and modern sound.
The vinyl labels are a great touch and the printing quality of the sleeve and insert are better than the original.
Pressing: 8/10
Music: 9/10
Sleeve: 8,5/10
