Vivaldi Concertos
Though the majority of concertos Vivaldi wrote were for solo instruments, there are still more than 150 works for two or more soloists. Of these the Dresden concerto is one of the most delightful. It is featured in today's programme, along with a work for solo oboe and one for two horns. They're played by young international soloists accompanied by members of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
