Johann Sebastian Bach:
Double Concerto for two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043

Arvo Part:
Tabula Rasa

Antonio Vivaldi:
Concerto con due violini obligati, Op. 3/8, RV 522

Alfred Schnittke:
Concerto grosso No. 3

After a heyday in the 18th century, the double concerto was hardly cultivated in the 19th century: In the virtuoso cult of this epoch, there could only ever be one, which changed again, a little bit, in the 20th century. The violinists Natasha Korsakova and Manrico Padovani each present two exemplary double concertos from the Baroque and Classical Modern periods on ARS PRODUKTION.
