These are the two concerti for solo violin that have survived in this form. The adagio of the E-major concerto is superb in its exquisite simplicity and emotion. Now digitally remastered for the ultimate in sonic fidelity, this deluxe edition includes online audio and an engraved “urtext” edition of each concerto.

Includes an authoritative printed music score with orchestral reduction, edited by Baroque violin expert Wieslaw Novak, printed on high-quality ivory paper; and audio containing a complete version with soloist, in digitally remastered stereo; then a second digitally remastered stereo version of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
