Most notable are the ensemble’s rich but subtly graded palette of colours (to accord with Charles de Brosses’ enthusiastic observations after hearing Vivaldi and his orchestra in Venice), rhythmic vitality and atmospheric renditions of the slow movements. This last quality is enhanced by the surprising appearance of the viola d’amore among the strings, which Molardi believes often participated in 17th- and 18th- century Venetian orchestral ensembles.
