Notes
Vivaldi’s Women’ showcases Vivaldi compositions written for the women of the Ospedale della Pietài, a Venetian institution (founded c.1340) that cared for unwanted children, often illegitimate or physically disadvantaged.
This latest release from La Serenissima includes a world premiere recording of a newly-discovered concerto in F, and instruments invented by Vivaldi himself including the violin ‘in tromba marina’, a newly commissioned Italian viola d’amore (to a design by Stradivarius) and a chalumeau.
La Serenissima is recognised 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 its “glorious and all-too-rare ability to make one’s pulse race afresh with every new project” - Gramophone

Performance **** Recording ****
Kate Bolton-Porciatti – BBC Music magazine – October 2022
“… Appropriate tempi, good soloists and a conductor who knows how to keep a wonderful balance between rhythmic conciseness and sung-out melodies leave a more than positive impression. The violin concertos captivate with their interpretive coherence and rousing drive. Particularly noteworthy is the rather rarely heard violin concerto with organ and strings RV 541. Just as in instrumental music, Chandler uses all the tonal possibilities in sacred music to support the soloists with the orchestra. Jess Dandy’s darkly glowing alto is particularly impressive. The recording technique is exceptionally brilliant …” ****
Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 27 August 2022
