Antonio Vivaldi wrote a set of six sonatas for cello and continuo, written between 1720 and 1730, and published in Paris in 1740 by Leclerc and Boivin. These sonatas were published without an opus number; sometimes they are improperly called op. 14.
In addition to this publication, Vivaldi wrote at least four other cello sonatas. The manuscripts of two of these are kept in the library of the conservatories of Naples, and another is kept in the castle of Wiesentheid. One sonata in D minor (RV 38) has been lost.

- In my opinion, an excellent collection of Vivaldi music featuring Ofra Harnoy on the cello; I truly enjoy every piece. Harnoy's Cello playing here is exceptional; lots of great moments. The Toronto Chamber Orchestra also does very well here. The overall production is very good and the cello.
- Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) was one of the most significant Italian composers during the Baroque era. Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, a set of four violin concertos for solo violin, strings and basso continuo, was first published in 1725 as part of a set of twelve concerti, Op. The Four Seasons is found at beginning of Op. 8, and Vivaldi entitled this collection of 12 concertos Il cimento.

| Misc. Notes | From the Coutan archives. Paul Coutan studied this edition under Paul Bazelaire's tutelage, but only the penultimate sonata. Accordingly it has been scanned also in color for the markings to stand out. Introductory notes (French only) by Henry Expert who indicates that the editors received communication of the 1740 edition through the hands of Henry Prunières. |
