About
2017's Easter Concert given by the Bach Consort Vienna, conducted by Ruben Dubrovsky in the Basilica of Klosterneuburg Monastery, featured works by Antonio Vivaldi, which he composed during his engagement with the orphanage Ospedale della Pieta in Venice. The young girls growing up there received early musical training, which led the choir and orchestra of the Ospedale to become internationally acclaimed. This concert recording by Bach Consort Vienna with soloists Andreas Scholl, alto, Hanna Herfurtner and Joowon Chung, soprano and the Salzburg Bach Choir combines instrumentals like the Sonata a quatro in E-flat major 'Al Santo Sepolcro', RV 130 and the Concerto in G minor, RV 156 with the liturgical works Stabat Mater, RV 621 and Gloria, RV 589, written for Easter.

Awards and reviews
Classical Music October 2018
This is an excellent live recording of a concert given at the Basilika Stift Klosterneuburg. Two of Vivaldi’s instrumental works act as a prelude to the sublime countertenor voice of Andreas Scholl. The Miserere Filiae maestae Jerusalem and Stabat Mater showcase Scholl’s fine musicianship, phrasing and interpretive powers, sympathetically accompanied by the consort. The Gloria offers a radical shift in mood and is given a full-on interpretation at a lively tempo under director Rubén Dubrovsky.
