About

Vivaldi, the Venetian, master of the whole palette of human emotions. From the church to the opera house, from tragedy to joy, the immediately-recognisable sensibility, the expressiveness, the inimitable colours and an unbeatable talent to say so much in just a few notes.

The contralto Delphine Galou (who recently won a Gramophone Award, one of the most prestigious awards in the classical music world) and Ottavio Dantone's Accademia Bizantina have created two recitals of sacred music and of opera that illustrate the incomparable richness of Vivaldi’s body of work and establish the emotional connections between the two repertoires.

For the first time, two volumes of the Vivaldi Edition (in this case the 59th and 60th) will be released at the same time, with their synergy also reflected in the albums’ artwork.

The recital ‘Arie e cantate per opera’ (Opera arias and cantatas) shines a light on and alternates between operatic arias and cantatas, which are related in style and colour.

Reviews

September 2019

In the arias from Vivaldi’s opera Galou is at her most flexible and assured. In ‘Si, si, bel volto’ she handles the thoughtful silences and reflections of the lover with consummate skill, and subtly insinuates the devious plot behind ‘Semplice non temer’…the cantatas are more problematic, partly because Vivaldi’s text setting does not always help the singer.

January/February 2020

[Galou] Her voice is rich—in fact, in its upper regions it is surprisingly brilliant in sound—but not matronly or butch. In fact, she could pass for a star countertenor. In the arias, she sings material assigned to either male or female characters, and she is convincing in both.

16th June 2019

All exploit the singer’s plush lower register and brilliant quasi-instrumental virtuosity.

Opera Now August 2019

She relishes the texts and despite her clear diction she sings with exceptional smoothness of line within her relatively narrow vocal range. She also leans into phrases, and can sometimes sound deliberately straight-toned, and could be accused of being hooty.
