VIVALDI • SONATE E CONCERTI Benoît Loiselle, cello Vincent Boucher, organ ACD2 2568 • Cellist Benoît Loiselle and organist Vincent Boucher combine their talents for this recording of chamber music by Antonio Vivaldi.   Though cello and organ were often used in continuo sections, Baroque pieces just for these two instruments are rare, and there are none in the Red Priest's oeuvre.   To complete the program for this CD, Loiselle and Boucher have selected transcriptions for cello and organ of some of Vivaldi's well known works. • Principal cello of Les Violons du Roy, Benoît Loiselle also performs as a soloist and chamber musician.   He appears regularly at various music festivals and events in Canada, and has played as a guest soloist with many different orchestras, including the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Les Violons du Roy, the Orchestre Métropolitain and, most recently, the Orchestre de la Francophonie Canadienne. • A very active recitalist, Vincent Boucher has given remarkable performances in Canada, Austria, and France's famous cathedrals of Valence, Chartres, Bourges, and Notre-Dame de Paris.   In 2002 he was awarded the prestigious Prix d'Europe by the Académie de musique du Québec, a prize that had not been awarded to an organist since 1966.
