A VIVALDI CONCERT Vocal and Instrumental Works by the Italian Baroque Master Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741) performed by Chicago Baroque Ensemble with Patrick Michaels Bedi, Soprano

"A stellar level of artistry." - Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Nothing short of spectacular, she [Patrick Michaels Bedi] sings virtuoso motets and cantatas with the purity of a child, flies through the florid passage work like a musical acrobat, matches her voice to the pure tone of baroque obbligato instruments and enlivens Italian recitative with the personality of a Mozartean soubrette." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer
