Background: Pellegrina's Delight, celebrates Vivaldi's contribution to oboe repertoire in the early eighteenth century. He wrote at least 16 concertos for solo oboe, however this recording offers an overview of Vivaldi's prominent use of the solo oboe in his chamber music.

The Quartet Sonata, RV779, was written during the first decade of Vivaldi's activity as a composer, when he was serving as a violin teacher at the Ospedale della Pieta in Venice. Selected girls were admitted after an audition to the musical establishment. Vivaldi made a note on this manuscript of the names of the four female musicians who were chosen to perform the sonata: Pellegrina (oboe), Prudenza (violin), Lucietta (organ) and Candida (chalumeau).
