![]() Only during last decade some new kids, playing authentic instruments, have offered to me similar pleasure and insights into the music of Antonio Vivaldi and, to my great pleasure, Janigro's performance is no longer the only choice for me. It had been for a long time the only performance I could listen to. The self-assured and fine tone of Jan Tomasow's solo violin relates perfectly with the Soloists the entire performance is impregnated with the spirit of Janigro's perfectionism, leaving the music and its soul fully exposed. What a change it was – a window into a new world music is fast, precise and true to life, the intonation is correct, the continuo appropriate, and the violin of beautiful sound in fitting correlation with the Zagreb Soloists. ![]() My first encounter with the records took place almost thirty years ago, when “our” Antonio revealed to me the true significance of the piece of another great Antonio, his famous namesake, whose Le Quattro Staggioni I could hardly listen any more because of the "grand", actually too grand, performances usual at that time, let alone enjoy them. I will attempt to convey to you how much this performance means to me, and might mean to you, as well.
