At the beginning of December 2023, Chasing The Dragon brought over to London Italy's leading chamber orchestra, Interpreti Veneziani. CTD decided to make a companion album to their Vivaldi in Venice — however, instead of a live recording, they decided to make a 'Direct Cut' double album. The music features eight Vivaldi concertos. Performed on period instruments, the album sounds amazing.
