About
The new CD by Musica Fiata and La Capella Ducale directed by Roland Wilson is devoted to sacred works by Antonio Vivaldi. Although Vivaldi was himself a priest, his name is more often connected with instrumental music and opera. However, he wrote a great many sacred works including some hitherto unknown works which are presented on this recording, having been recently discovered in the Saxon Regional Library in Dresden. They are Nisi Dominus RV 803 and Dixit Dominus RV 807, and their discovery has contributed to more attention being focused on his sacred compositions. Also included on this recording, which once again reveals the exceptional quality of Roland Wilson's ensembles, are the Magnificat RV 610, Lauda Jerusalem RV 803, Laetatus sum RV 607 and Domine ad adjuvandum RV 593.
