Opera by multiple composers
Andromeda liberata is a pasticcio-serenata of 18 September 1726, on the subject of
Perseus Freeing Andromeda , made as a collective tribute to the visiting Cardinal
Pietro Ottoboni by at least five composers working in Venice including
Vivaldi . It contains the last documented solo performance by Vivaldi as a violinist, performing the virtuoso violin part in his own aria "Sovente il sole".
[1] The work was re-assembled by
Michael Talbot and recorded by
Andrea Marcon with
Simone Kermes ,
Anna Bonitatibus and
Max Emanuel Cenčić and the
Venice Baroque Orchestra for Archiv in 2005.

He ceased to appear in public as a violinist – one assumes that he played the obbligato part in his aria 'Sovente il sole' in Andromeda liberata* (1726), but no later solo performance is documented – in part because he no longer deemed it appropriate to his status.
