Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Antonio Vivaldi est entré dans l'histoire musicale surtout pour ses compositions instrumentales profanes (concertos, sonates, etc.). C'est vite oublier l'intensité de sa musique sacrée qui lui valut quelques succès importants. Emma Kirkby est une des plus touchantes interprètes de cette musique céleste qui, même dans ses instants les plus tragiques, garde une couleur optimiste. Les musiciens expérimentés de l'Academy of Ancient Music, sous la baguette experte de Simon Preston, tissent un écrin élégant pour laisser à la voix d'Emma Kirkby toute sa liberté d'expression. --Marc Aigneaux

5.0 out of 5 stars
amazingly beautiful,
By abuelitodimetu (civitas dei, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gloria/Nulla In Mundo Pax Sinc (Audio CD)
This CD is worth buying just for "Nulla in mundo pax sincera." This is one of the most beautiful vivaldi motets and is simply heavenly. I absoluterly love it!
4.0 out of 5 stars
More of Emma Please,
By fatted_calf "fatted_calf" (Western Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gloria/Nulla In Mundo Pax Sinc (Audio CD)
I would have given this CD 5 stars if Emma Kirkby had sung all of the cantatas on Disc 2. Unfortunately, most of the cantatas on this disc are sung by Catherine Bott, who in my musically illiterate opinion, sounds more like a mezzo-soprano than a true soprano. Kirkby on the other hand is a legend in early music and brings her trademark "purity of sound" to this recording. The gorgeous duet she sings with Judith Nelson on disc 1 is alone worth the price of this set (that's probably a slight exaggeration, but it's pretty damn good anyway).Getting away from Kirkby a sec, the Gloria on CD 1 is indeed glorious. The choral movements are sharp and lively, having that quality of all good choirs of sounding not quite of this earth. Listening to this CD after a couple of beers, you could be forgiven for thinking that your house has been invaded by cherubim and seraphim. I'm not a huge fan of counter tenors (probably something to do with feeling threatened about my latent homosexuality or being emasculated) so I can't really provide any worthwhile comments about the Nisi Dominus which is a showcase of James Bowman's skills. Bowman has pretty impressive credentials, so I'm not about to get stuck into him. Suffice to say, I usually skip thru tracks 13-18 on disc 1.

Glorious cantatas on the second CD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gloria/Nulla In Mundo Pax Sinc (Audio CD)
For once the 5 stars are worth it. The choral works on disc 1 are masterful benchmark interpretations of the pick of Vivaldi's sacred output. What makes it a real bargain however is the second disc of cantatas - one of Emma Kirkby and Catherine Bott's finest achievements on the old L'Oiseau Lyre label. Couple this with full texts and an intelligent booklet. Wonderful!
