Vivaldi’s Concerto in D minor, RV 565, is a Baroque-era work originally for strings and continuo.
It exemplifies his trademark rhythmic vigor and thematic clarity. Bach later transcribed it (BWV 596),
highlighting the cross-pollination of musical ideas in the 18th century.
This concerto grosso showcases Vivaldi's signature tension between soloists (2 violins and cello) and orchestra, with abrupt dynamic shifts and haunting D-minor harmonies typical of his "dark" Venetian period.
A vibrant three-movement concerto showcasing Vivaldi's signature contrast between solo violin and orchestral tutti, typical of the Italian Baroque style.
