Vivaldi: Sacro Furore - Stabat Mater, Nisi Dominus, Concerti
2024HMM902383Baroque
In an increasingly crowded field of star countertenors, Carlo Vistoli demonstrates surprising ornamentation, inventive phrasing, and impressive coloratura with a warm, operatic tone. The four-movement In furore iustissimae irae stylishly demonstrates everything you need to know about this exciting singer.
Oliver CamachoMusic Director
A former member of Le Jardin des Voix, the apprenticeship program for William Christie‘s seminal ensemble Les Arts Florissants, Carlo Vistoli has risen to the top of the field of baroque specialists. Chicago audiences were introduced to the Italian countertenor in 2017 when he sang the role of Ottone in The Coronation of Poppea with the Monteverdi 450 tour in 2017.
For his debut album on the Harmonia Mundi label, Vistoli is joined by the Berlin Academy for Ancient Music for an all-Vivaldi album featuring three solo cantatas: Stabat Mater, the famous Nisi Dominus, and the operatic In furore. Additional orchestral music by Vivaldi led by Georg Kallweit serves as connective material for the three vocal works but are stylish enough to stand alone.
