Antonio VIVALDI composed his Concerto (RV532) for 2 Mandolins and Orchestra for the girls of the 'Ospedale della Pietà', an orphanage ánd a music school in Venice. Vivaldi was the main violin tutor here from 1704, and from 1713 till 1740 its foremost composer.
Here the final section, the 'Allegro' of the Double Mandolin Concerto is played, filmed at a concert performed by the Dutch Mandolin Chamber Orchestra Het CONSORT in 1995 with two members of this orchestra, Paul Liklikuwata and Alex Timmerman as the mandolin soloists.
Thanks go to mr. Gerard Godlieb for making the videos of this concert event.
