Given the lack of any new releases for a year now, and no opera recordings for over two years, should one assume that the Naive Vivaldi Edition project to record every extant work has been cancelled? Has anyone seen any official announcement concerning the fate of the project?

Funny, I was wondering the same thing a few days ago.

Looks like it. Naive, as reported is bankrupt and has been bought by a digital distributor. No word on future plans.

It's a shame, but the consolation is some really excellent recordings of many of Vivaldi's operas, some of which are real treasures.

Yes, I've been picking them up and they really are stunning recordings, as are the Vivaldi chamber music recordings. I would hope that Naive's new owners continue, but I don't see a lot of prospect for that.
