Antonio Vivaldi is not someone you would normally associate with religious music. He is chiefly known as a composer of operas and instrumental baroque music. Yet Vivaldi did compose a considerable number of sacral works. However a Vespers service, like those of Claudio Monteverdi, is not among his oeuvre. Leonardo García Alarcón likes to be original, and during this concert he puts together an imaginary Vespers service as might have sounded out in Venice’s St Mark’s Basilica during Vivaldi’s era. Together with the Millenium Orchestra and the Chœur de Chambre de Namur, he shoulders a spectacular evening, in which Vivaldi’s religious music plays a starring role. This result is not only fresh and contemporary, but also rich in undiluted emotion.
