Vivaldi, Gloria

Program: Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Corelli, old Italian folk carols

This festive and brilliant disc illustrates the joyous atmosphere that characterises the Advent season. These scores by the great Italian masters give us a taste of the exhilaration that 18th-century men and women could feel as Christmas approached. Vivaldi and his contemporaries delighted in painting the touching and expressive pictures of the Nativity in music, drawing on their knowledge of eloquence and rhetoric. In this way, Baroque exuberance found its setting, and the emotions specific to the Christmas spirit were translated into sound. Alongside this well-known music, the concert will conclude with a performance of popular carols collected in the Italian provinces. From Tuscany to Sicily, we'll be discovering these delightful and naive musical miniatures, whose melodies are ultimately unfamiliar to us.
