One of the best sacred masterpieces of Baroque, Gloria RV 589 by Antonio Vivaldi. Those are the recordings I own (period instruments, of course)

Alessandrini / Concerto Italiano (Naive)


My favourite recording, with the excellent contralto Sara Mingardo. Includes Gloria RV 588 and RV 589

King / The King's Consort (Hyperion)


The complete set of Vivaldi sacred music. Also includes Gloria RV 588 and RV 589. Excellent vocal cast, among them: Susan Gritton, Lynton Atkinson, Deborah York, Joyce Didonato, Nathalie Stutzmann, Charles Daniels.

Gardiner / English baroque Soloists (Decca)


This recording only has Gloria RV 589 but also includes Handel's Gloria and Dixit Dominus.

Do you know about more HIP recordings?

Thanks

This recording is quite interesting. Pinnock is not among my favourite conductors for Vivaldi, I rather prefer more energic/"italian" conductors such as Carmignola, Dantone, Sardelli, Alessandrini but I started listening to Vivaldi with Pinnock and still I enjoy his recordings, particularly L'Estro Armonico. I think I will buy it not only because of the program: also includes Corelli and A. Scarlatti and I really like both, but also for the amazing singers: nancy Argenta, Jennifer Smith, Wyn Rogers.
