Alberto Ponticello

“Alberto is a leading talent of his generation" - Emmanuel Pahud Flautist. Alberto Navarra gained notable recognition in the Spring of 2022, winning the Carl Nielsen International Flute Competition in Odense (Denmark), following recent competition successes in Italy and Romania. As a member of the Berlin Philharmonic's Karajan Akademie, Alberto currently holds the position of ""Solo-Flöte mit 2./3. Flöte"" with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. For his debut album Navarra is joined by harpist Claudia Lucia Lamanna and the Odense Symphony Orchestra, under conductor Holly Hyun Choe, for Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp, as well as flute concertos by Carl Reinecke and Carl Nielsen."

This series concentrates on Concertos which survive in manuscript in the Dresden Saxony Landesbibliothek, and which were used by the Court Orchestra. They do not derive from the composer’s residence in the city, and the sleeve note suggests that their existence may be connected with Vivaldi’s association with an influential group of Dresden musicians, most notably the violinist, Johanne Pisendel who visited and studied under the composer during the latter part of 1716, and to whom Vivaldi dedicated a number of his Concertos. The quality of these works is often remarkably high, reflecting the caliber of the orchestra and indeed Pisendel’s virtuosity and musicianship. They sound extremely well in these excellent modern-instrument performances.
