New CD issue: Vivaldi's "Great Venetian Mass"
The latest addition to the "Les Arts Florissants" collection has just been released by harmonia mundi: Vivaldi's " Great Venetian Mass ", conducted by Paul Agnew!
Recorded during the pandemic, this new album invites us to rediscover some of Vivaldi's iconic pieces (such as the famous Gloria) by placing them in the context of their creation: that of a mass, such as it might have been celebrated in Venice at the time of the composer. For although the man nicknamed "the red-headed priest" spent a large part of his life composing sacred works for liturgical celebrations, no complete mass has survived...
Paul Agnew's project is therefore resolutely new, and in this recording he offers a never-before-seen reconstruction of a "great Venetian mass". A musical feast, carried by the choir and the orchestra of Les Arts Florissants alongside the exceptional soloists Sophie Karthäuser and Lucile Richardot!
