Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in A Major is the sixth concerto in a 1727 collection of twelve concertos written for solo violin, strings and basso continuo. This collection was named ‘La Cetra’ after an instrument similar to the lyre, and dedicated to Emperor Charles VI.

The concertos in this set reveal the development of Vivaldi’s later style, which is widely considered to show glimpses of the upcoming Classical period.

This performance of his Violin Concerto in A Major took place at Cheltenham Town Hall in 2016 with director and soloist Rachel Podger.
