78° Festival MMF
Concert

Federico Maria Sardelli

A concert of Baroque music by Antonio Vivaldi and the two Florentines Giuseppe Maria Orlandini and Francesco Maria Veracini: although less known of the Red Priest, they were two great composers. Orlandini was the choirmaster of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and of Veracini was said to be the greatest violinist of his time, so much that Giuseppe Tartini, the author of the famous Devil's Trill, decided to retire after having listened one of his concerts.
