Even if Giuliano Carmignola isn’t a member of a biker gang like Brando’s Johnny, the title Vivaldi con moto, chosen after a brainstorming session I had with Italian-speaking and Italy-loving product manager Burkhard Bartsch, reinforces the visual image on the cover, because moto is Italian for motorbike (including the ubiquitous scooter whose buzzing and beeping are as much a part of the Italian soundscape as is the music of Vivaldi or Puccini).

But in a musical context – as DG fans hardly need to be told – con moto is also a tempo designation, one that’s often used to qualify another indication: Andante con moto or Allegro con moto, for example. In the case of Carmignola’s Vivaldi album, “with movement”, to give the phrase its literal translation, represents an artistic flexibility that inspires him to explore different paths in his interpretations. Lack of movement leads to stagnation, while a constant quest for new performance approaches is what keeps music alive. Ceaselessly striving for innovation and creative freedom
