Adrian Chandler - Vivaldi's Women - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Classical

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.
