4 AV 5 MÖJLIGA I BETYG I DAGENS NYHETER"Till skillnad från operamusiken blev kyrkomusiken under den italienska barocken allt mindre rigid i sina former och öppen för nytänkande. Samtidigt som den lånade vad den ville av operans mest verkningsfulla uttrycksmedel. Och ingenstans var detta så tydligt som i Venedig. I Antonio Vivaldis (1678-1741) två tonsättningar av ett flersatsigt "Gloria" som Rinaldo Alessandrini och hans Concerto Italiano nu spelat in, blir denna frihet mycket tydlig. Horn och oboer skapar skallande ljusmättade klanger som traditonellt förknippas med lovsången. Men därefter är dramaturgin närmast oförutsägbar. I växlingar mellan intima duetter, vaggande pastoraler och krängande andantesatser och allegron uppstår oväntade kast mellan ljus och mörker. Allra vackrast i de vindlande ariorna för Sara Mingardos bronsfärgade altstämma."

"The reason I chose to record both versions of Vivaldi's Gloria is because the first is not very well known and the character of the two is very different. there is much more polyphony in the first version (RV 158) than in the second (RV 159), which is much more theatrical, more modern. the first version looks much more to the past. Certainly the second Gloria (RV 159) was written several years after the first (RV 158) which I think was the first. It is interesting to see in the final fugue - which is not by Vivaldi but by the composer Ruggeri - how Vivaldi reworked this fugue in two different ways. the second version, Gloria 589, is much more concise and better balanced. musicological studies have not been able to date these works precisely. Perhaps one of the most stimulating exercises for a musicologist or a musician is to write about Italian sacred music of the eighteenth century. Unlike opera, where the works obey an ever more rigidly structured code (beginning with the division into recitatives and arias), in which the composer increasingly adheres to preconceived models that conform to his audience's expectations, sacred music takes care to avoid submitting to ideology of any kind. While in theory at least it accepts a set of precepts (which will be discussed further on), sacred music does not (will not, cannot) free itself from operatic influence."
