Vivaldi’s best known work The Four Seasons, composed in 1723, is a set of four radical violin concertos depicting the seasons of the year. The concertos broke new ground with their programmatic depiction of the changing seasons and their technical innovations. Vivaldi published a descriptive sonnet to accompany each of the seasons which provide a g...
Vivaldi composed this Gloria in Venice in 1715 for the choir and orchestra of the Ospedale della Pietà, a Venetian orphanage for girls. The wonderfully sunny nature of the Gloria, with its distinctive melodies and rhythms, is characteristic of all of Vivaldi’s music, giving an immediate and universal appeal. Incredibly, following the first performa...
In contrast to Vivaldi’s predominately bright and breezy style his 1727 setting of the Stabat Mater, as befits the soulful nature of the text, achieves a rare depth of feeling and powerful sense of melancholy. The first movement of Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater was used in the soundtrack of the movie The Talented Mr Ripley.
Most celebrated of Vivaldi’s operas involving a series of misunderstandings of identity, resulting in a drowning, near-assassination and near-suicide based at the time of the Olympic Games. L’Olimpiade, composed in 1734 and set in Ancient Greece, is about two friends both in love with women they’re forbidden from meeting and is one of Vivaldi’s bes...
Sublime motet of three arias and interlinking recitatives for solo soprano and string orchestra composed in 1735. It is considered to be one of Vivaldi’s most beautiful solo motets and is famous for its lilting first movement. The title may be translated as ‘In this world there is no honest peace’ or ‘There is no true peace in this world without bi...
L’Estro Armonico (The Harmonic Inspiration) is a set of 12 concertos for stringed instruments, first published in Amsterdam in 1711. It was the first publication to fully reveal Vivaldi’s inventive genius and one which established the fast-slow-fast movement formula for the greater part of his concerto output. Vivaldi scholar Michael Talbot describ...
In this gloriously bright work for two trumpets and string orchestra, Vivaldi displays the Venetian love of musical dialogue. It was one of the few solo works of the early 1700s to feature brass instruments.
Vivaldi’s first setting of Psalm 127 for solo voice and strings is an often overlooked gem from his huge sacred output. He probably composed the work for the Ospedale della Pietà, a Venetian orphanage for girls, where he was violin master.
The Violin Concerto in E-flat major, otherwise known as La Tempesta di Mare (The Sea Storm), captures the crashing waves and thundering skies of its title with a driving continuo part.
This trio sonata, written for violin, lute and continuo, is an eloquent, simple expression of joy and shows a perceptive understanding of both the lute’s limitations and gifts. Vivaldi’s work in general shows an awareness of tone colour few other Baroque composers had and the Trio Sonata In Cis an excellent example.
