Don’t confuse Vivaldi with all of Baroque. Bach for instance.
My wife is a very talented classically trained pianist. She loves Bach. Perhaps it is the joy she finds in playing Bach.
I, on the other hand, am not a musician, but I am very talented in math. I don't really care that much for most of Bach's pieces (too mechanical for me, not enough real melody). I would rather listen to most Praetorius, Schutz, Gabrieli, Rameau, Pergolesi, Purcell, and Vivaldi than the great majority of Bach pieces. I even prefer some Charpentier and Lully pieces to Bach. This all might be because I do not play an instrument.
Vivaldi's operas (I have many), oratorios (I have one), and Serenata a tre (I have one) are favorites of mine. Vivaldi apparently wrote 94 operas, but unfortunately most have not survived.
When I saw this thread, I took out the Humperdinck Hansel and Gretel I had been listening to and put on the rollicking hunt music of Vivaldi's Dorilla in Tempe opera (Ensemble Baroque de Nice version). Try to duplicate that, Bach!
