Vivaldi: The Complete Sacred MusicAntonio VivaldiBox SetGenre: ClassicalDescription: In 1926 from a monastery just outside Turin in Italy came a revelation as extraordinary for music as the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb: a crate of 300 Vivaldi manuscripts including no fewer than 50 sacred works. This 11CD set offers jewels such as 'Beatus vir' a 'Stabat mater' a 'Dixit Dominus' and myriad other brilliant Baroque jewels ready to be discovered. This landmark set means there is no further excuse. The choir and soloists are a veritable 'who's who' of Baroque performance both now and in the recent past - Joyce DiDonato Charles Daniels Nathalie Stutzmann Carolyn Sampson Robin Blaze James Bowman Susan Gritton Sarah Connolly Neal Davies and more. Expense was never spared.
