About

Vivaldi's oratorio Juditha triumphans is not just a musical military exercise (it is indeed explicitly called "Sacrum militare oratorio") during the Turkish siege of Corfu in 1716. This was 'delicate' for Venice, but also an impressive performance show of the vocal and instrumental possibilities of the Ospedale della Piet.

The orchestra comes up with an extraordinary wealth of instruments, some of them unusual, even by Vivaldi's standards: Chalumeau, two clarinets, four theorbos, viola d'amore and mandolin, among others, are called for.

Featuring:

Roberto Zarpellon (conductor); Ensemble Lorenzo da Ponte; Coro Accademia dello Spirito Santo; Juditha: Luciana Mancini (mezzosoprano); Holofernes: Elena Biscuola (mezzosoprano); Vagaus: Silvia Frigato (soprano); Abra: Francesca Lombardi Mazzulli (soprano); Ozia: Marta Fumagalli (mezzosoprano)

Awards and reviews

December 2022

The musical riches of this work, which survives in Vivaldi’s autograph, are enormous and Roberto Zarpellon reveals its inherent dramatic force with vigour and insight to its myriad subtle inflections...The cast of vocal soloists, five in all, is a mainly strong one, though Elena Biscuola’s Holofernes is undercharacterised. Luciana Mancini’s Judith is splendid.
