As atraentes Sonatas para Violino Op. 2 de Vivaldi eram extremamente populares em sua época. Foram muito publicadas e rearranjadas para outras combinações de instrumentos. As seis primeiras são apresentados aqui em sua forma original pela excelente Elizabeth Wallfisch, elegantemente apoiada por Richard Tunnicliffe e Malcolm Proud. O disco é bom em razão dos excelentes instrumentistas. Não fiquei muito entusiasmado pelo repertório.
