Works By Antonio Vivaldi

Description:

Vivaldiâ??s Women includes a World Premiere recording of a newly-discovered concerto in F which is awaiting a catalogue number â?? the second movement is especially interesting because the solo part is given to the Leader of the orchestra (a classic Vivaldi device). There are weird and wonderful instruments on the new album including Vivaldiâ??s invention the violin â??in tromba marinaâ??, a newly commissioned Italian viola dâ??amore (to a design by Stradivarius) and a chalumeau. - WORKS BY ANTONIO VIVALDI

La Serenissima explore the sacred works of Vivaldi, many of which were composed for the Ospedale della Pietài - a Venetian institution that cared for unwanted children, which included a talented group of performers (the figlie di coro). The album includes several firsts, including a new recording of a 'lost' Concerto that has recently been credited to Vivaldi, and performances on a newly built Violin in Tromba Marina - an instrument thought unique to the Ospedale which Vivaldi composed for. La Serenissima is recognized as the UK's leading exponent of the music of 18th-century Venice and connected composers. Uniquely, the group's entire repertoire is edited from source material, and it has been praised for it's 'glorious and all-too-rare ability to make one's pulse race afresh with every new project' (Gramophone). La Serenissima has become synonymous with virtuosity, dynamism and accessibility, uncovering a plethora of new repertoire and making it available to all through live performance, high calibre recording work, education and outreach initiatives.
