For no terribly good reason other, except that they're each extremely charming in their own way, three different takes on the same piece of music.

Firstly, the original: Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto in D-major for violin RV 230 from L'Estro Armonico, Op. 3, No. 9 performed by the Clarion Musical society:



Secondly, Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard arrangement of Vivaldi's concerto BWV 972, performed here on the harpsichord by Richard Egarr:



Thirdly and finally, Alison Balsom's arrangement for trumpet and organ of Bach's arrangement. I liked this piece very much when I heard it as part of the RFH's Pulling Out All the Stops festival back in March — I particularly like the crispness of the tutti in the allegro and the conversation between the performers in the larghetto.
