Customer Reviews

the best GLORIA RV.589 on CD!
This is perhaps the greatest recording of Vivaldi's famous GLORIA. Choir of Christ Church Cathedral has a very refreshing sound, which is clean, transparent and youthful, with sweetness and clarity. The music itself, of course, is a masterpiece.

a "must have"
This is the ONLY version of "Gloria" you should own! The Choir of Christ Church is amazing and truly does justice to Vivaldi's work.

Glorious Music-Making
The men and boys of Christ Church Cathedral sing with a clarity and fineness of tuning on this album that all choirs everywhere should emulate. The result is a rendition of Vivaldi's masterpiece that rings with a beauty unparalleled in any other recording. Emma Kirkby is celestial as usual. A hidden treasure on this double-album is the Trio Sonata, which is a splendid exhibition of the instrumental virtuosity of Hogwood and The Academy of Ancient Music. Purchase this album, and be inspired over and over again.
