Editor's info:
Art of the Mandolin is Avi Avital's first recording exclusively comprising pieces originally written for the mandolin. Including, Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Mandolins in G Major, Beethoven's seldom-performed Adagio in E-flat Major and contemporary pieces by composers Paul Ben-Haim, David Bruce, Giovanni Sollima, as well as a few commissioned by Avi himself. Joining Avi on this recording are the Venice Baroque Orchestra, Anneleen Lenaerts, Sean Shibe, Yizhar Karshon, and Ophira Zakai.

BBC Music Magazine * * * * *
Avital’s latest release looks back over 300 years of mandolin music, starting with Vivaldi’s enchanting Double Mandolin Concerto (partnered by Alon Sariel), which is brought sparklingly to life, with the Venice Baroque Orchestra providing deftly engaging accompaniment.

Gramophone Magazine
[Avital] presents a multifaceted portrait of an instrument ‘at once familiar and unknown’. It’s also a veritable paean to plucked strings, celebrating the happy union of mandolin, guitar, theorbo, harp and harpsichord. The resulting variety of colours and textures is just one of the innumerable pleasures of this recording...The jaunty jouissance of the Vivaldi G major Concerto…makes for a thrilling curtain-raiser.
