Recordings

Find That Track

sinfonia ViVA has teamed up with Naxos to offer you the facility to listen to a 30 second sample of pieces from previous ViVA concerts, selected from one of the many thousands of recordings by artists in the Naxos catalogue. If you like what you hear when you click the green arrowed 'Play' button and would like to buy the Naxos recording, there's also a 'Buy Album' button which takes you to the sinfonia ViVA - Naxos affiliate site (powered by Naxos) where you can make the purchase.

The listings below also act as a reference where you can look up programme details from past concerts - those with and without Naxos recordings. So either way, even after a concert date has passed, you can remind yourself of the programme and enjoy some of your favourite pieces all over again...
