{"product_id":"2l056-bellezza-crudel-vivaldi","title":"Bellezza Crudel - Vivaldi","description":"\u003cp\u003eBellezza Crudel is a new addition to the NativeDSD Music catalog from 2L Music.  It is a selection of delightful cantatas and concertos written by Vivaldi that are performed by Tone Wik (soprano), Barokkanerne (period instruments), Per Hannisdal (bassoon) and Alexandra Opsahl (recorder).  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviewers say that this \"well-programmed album intersperses two instrumental concertos amongst four attractive, concise soprano cantatas, all accorded the 2L label's exemplary sound.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2L Music notes \u003cem\u003e\"18th century Venice; where Hollywood meets Las Vegas; where the jet-set of Europe could conceal their identities behind masks and hurl themselves into the fake world of commedia dell’arte. Bellezza Crudel is a small selection of delightful cantatas and concertos. Vivaldi’s world is one of heartfelt, musical intensity, confirming the Venetians’ adoration of theatrical beauty.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMike Birman at Audiophile Audition gives the album a perfect 5-star rating noting that \u003cem\u003e\"Vivaldi’s instrumental music is sufficiently well known after 60 years of popularization to be easily identifiable when heard out of its usual cultural context. Even television advertisements now use some of his more familiar themes as the basis for selling objects as diverse as diamonds and frozen pizza. One could say that his music has arrived. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese works are almost concertos for solo instrument and voice because of the musical equality with which Vivaldi showcases them. It is hard to imagine discovering a similarly effortless beauty of tone and emotional persuasiveness anywhere else, at least in the near future. This superlative recording will not soon be surpassed. Most strongly recommended. The sound on this album is beautifully focused and clear. Instruments and voice are presented as if they are performing in the same room as the listener. In its naturalness and warmth, the music has all of the best qualities of an analog vinyl record [plus surround sound!…Ed.].\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2L","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739285631300,"sku":"2L056-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739285664068,"sku":"2L056-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739285696836,"sku":"2L056-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739285729604,"sku":"2L056-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739285762372,"sku":"2L056-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739285795140,"sku":"2L056-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739285827908,"sku":"2L056-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739285860676,"sku":"2L056-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739285893444,"sku":"2L056-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739285926212,"sku":"2L056-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739285958980,"sku":"2L056-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310455136580,"sku":"2L056-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337687277892,"sku":"2L056S1417","price":27.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337687310660,"sku":"2L056S1517","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337687343428,"sku":"2L056S1617","price":33.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337687376196,"sku":"2L056S69","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337687408964,"sku":"2L056S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/2L056.jpg?v=1790523541","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/2l056-bellezza-crudel-vivaldi","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
