About

Ten years and eleven discs after its triumphant inception, Robert Kings complete recording of Vivaldis sacred music reaches a worthy end. The Gloria, RV589 this is the famous one, beloved of choral societies the world overprovides a suitably ebullient opening to a recording which also includes the lyrical Ostro picta sublimely sung by Carolyn Sampson and the Gloria by Ruggierithe work from which Vivaldi stole many of the best ideas for his own settings of the same text. Of great significance also is the first recording of the newly discovered Nisi Dominus, RV803Vivaldis latest work, as it were. Discovered in a Dresden library in 2003, this opulent setting is for three soloists, strings, continuo and five extraordinary solo instruments (including the fantastical violino in tromba marinathe eighteenth centurys equivalent of the modern jazz violin?). As a historical discovery, this new work is important; as the keystone of this final disc in a ground-breaking series, it is perfect. All of the music on this album is also available as part of the specially priced box set Vivaldi: The Complete Sacred Music: King has given us the ultimate Vivaldi anthology, abundant in energy, rich with emotion, animation, and color, and enshrined in Hyperion's fabled, warm, and incomparable sound (Fanfare, USA).

Robert King had the good fortune that a lost Vivaldi Nisi Dominus turned up just as his project to record the composer's complete sacred music reached its 10th and final volume. This is its première recording. As the work's authenticator, Michael Talbot, has pointed out, only Vivaldi would have dared to include solos for chalumeau, violin 'in tromba marina', viola d'amore, organ and cello in a single multi- sectional work. If, as it seems, this is one of the great colouristic experimenter's last sacred compositions, he certainly goes out with a bang. An atmospheric and loving performance gives a perfect start to its new life.
The other major work for this final volume is the famous Gloria, a fitting crown to the series.
So much is good in it – boldness, brightness, expressive depth, melodic beauty – and it all comes through in this carefully judged interpretation.
Carolyn Sampson is excellent in the short solo motet Ostro picta, a final reminder that high-quality solo singing has been one of the principal pleasures of this series. But King gives the final word to the members of his choir, who ably sing the stand-out solos in the intriguing Gloria by Giovanni Maria Ruggieri from which Vivaldi pinched his own concluding 'Cum Sancto Spiritu' fugue. With its bold strokes of originality and colour, it's easy to see how it could have impressed Vivaldi.
