CD, стоящие на полке рядом : Sacred Music (Master Works)      

Vivaldi's sacred music for solo voice and orchestra is among the most beautiful he wrote: liturgical Latin texts set mostly for castrati, counter-tenors and trebles because high pitch suggested angels, and women in 18th-century Venice had no part to play in the church. Arguably the pre-eminent counter-tenor of our time, Andreas Scholl is on sensational form, his voice a miracle of purity, limpidity and control, his phrasing deft and detailed, especially in the haunting siciliana of the Nisi Dominus, with its hypnotic, pulse- like bass drone. Paul Dyer, conducting the period-instrument Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, opts for some deliberate, even exaggerated speeds, but the effect is a revelation.
