Antonio Vivaldi - Concerto in tromba marina, in C major, RV 558: I. Allegro molto

Trevor Pinnock, The English Concert

From allmusic:

"Concerto in C major, RV 558, counts among Antonio Vivaldi's last works and, even within his enormous output, one of his most unique. It perhaps owes its rather festive nature to its inclusion on a concert for Prince Frederick Christian of Poland at the Ospedale della Pietà (the famous orphanage-cum- conservatory) during his visit to Venice in 1740. The most immediately striking aspect of this piece is its elaborate instrumentation. RV 558 calls for two recorders, two mandolins, two chalumeaux (offspring of the bagpipe chanter and forerunner of the clarinet), theorbos (a kind of bass lute with two sets of strings running parallel, but with a separate sets of tuning pegs for the lower strings), a single violoncello, and two violins "in tromba marina." This last instrumentational detail is the most curious, perhaps interpreted as instructing the violinists to perform in the manner of a tromba marina -- a large, archaic instrument with a single string stretched across a special rattling bridge, the buzz of which gives each note a horn-like sound."
