Product-Information:

The fifth volume in Robert King's acclaimed series opens with Susan Gritton singing the highly virtuosic In turbato mare, the metaphorical ship of the soul truly having a rough time at sea. This flamboyance leads to the more contemplative Non in pratis, the introduction to a Miserere setting, now lost. The famous Stabat mater then becomes the ideal vehicle to reveal the vocal sweetness of young countertenor Robin Blaze.

Three further motets round off the programme: O qui coelis includes the extraordinary aria 'Rosa qui moritur' ('The rose which dies'), plaintively sung by Susan Gritton; Deus tuorum is a simple strophic setting of this famous Hymn, but one which is strangely captivating; and the trio Confitebor tibi, Domine ranks among Vivaldi's supreme achievements in the genre.

Rezensionen

H. Kunze in KLASSIK heute 9/99: "Mit mehr als 78 Minuten ist die fünfte CD der Serie geistlicher Vivaldi-Werke randvoll bespielt. Langweilig ist davon keine einzige Minute. Wie in den ersten vier Teilen wartet King auch hier wieder mit einem vielfältig-farbigen Instrumen- tarium auf. Eine überzeugende Produktion."
