<blink> 50 concerti? My good sir, Vivaldi wrote more than 600 concerti.
Understandably, there's a certain, well, sameness to many of them. Of
course, as much could be said about the output of every prolific baroque
composer, including old Johan Sebastian, himself.
I suggest sampling various works in a library, noting down which ones you
like, and purchasing those.
