Andromeda liberata is a pasticcio-serenata of 18 September 1726, on the subject of Perseus Freeing Andromeda, made as a collective tribute to the visiting Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni by at least five composers working in Venice including Vivaldi. It contains the last documented solo performance by Vivaldi as a violinist, performing the virtuoso violin part in his own aria "Sovente il sole".[1] The work was re-assembled by Michael Talbot and recorded by Andrea Marcon with Simone Kermes, Anna Bonitatibus and Max Emanuel Cenčić and the Venice Baroque Orchestra for Archiv in 2005.[2]
