Vivaldi/Bach?

Hi.

When I was a freshman in high school we watched this video in Biology to learn to indentify different organisms such as trees, fish, and insects. The video was made by my biology teacher and his cousin or uncle or something. The background to each section had a different classical tune, including some good ones.

The one song I'm curious about he referred to as "Concerto in A Minor" by J.S. Bach, and was played with Piano as the soloist. After spending some years occasionally looking for the piece, I decided it really wasn't by Bach. I finally one day heard it on the radio, but it was actually a Vivaldi Concerto. It was titled:

"Concerto for 4 violins in B Minor, Op.3 No.10, RV.580 (from L'estro armonico)"

I went to www.prs.net to look it up, and I guess Bach did a rewrite of it in A Minor. I'd kill for a recording of it. I've searched Amazon and stuff, all to no avail. I need some suggestions, or you can even find a recording for me. Thanks!

I have no knowledge of them, I got this from Google after reading your post, but I'm going to look into some of these recordings myself.

There was a new version of Vivaldi's Op.3 No.10 released last year on Meridian records (MER 84455)

H&B Direct has it in stock:
