5.0 out of 5 stars The baroque at its best., June 26, 2006

This review is from: Vivaldi Gloria & Other Sacred Works: In San Marco, Venice and Cappella degli Scrovegni, Padua (DVD)

'I Solisti Veneti' have enjoyed a long and rewarding association with Claudio Scimone, and this is so obvious in the rapport of the musicians in these Vivaldi delights. Combining with the "Singakamie Choir of Vienna' they present a varied group of sacred music from the pen of the 'Red Monk'. There are two Glorias - the better known RV589 and the RV562, both beautifully performed, Salve Regina RV 616 and Stabat Mater RY621, and two Concertos - RV581 and part of RV562. Along with the Sonata Al Santo Sepolcro RV130 it provides the listener with a variety of glorious music.
Highly recommended for those who know Vivaldi, and for those who know only "the Seasons' but who want to know more.

This review is from: Vivaldi Gloria & Other Sacred Works: In San Marco, Venice and Cappella degli Scrovegni, Padua (DVD)

I don't know if it was just me. Very often, as I watching this DVD,I did not feel the singing in this video, especially the vocal solo, was "natural". The movement of their lips, facial expression, did not seem to match with the sound produced, although their voices were all quite good.
