About

this disc casts helpful light on a side of the Priest-Composer rarely glimpsed, helping further dispel the absurd myth that he wrote one piece several hundred times !  ...it contains 3 major works for double chorus and orchestra all of which fit into the context of a 1720’s Vespers service. Ex Cathedra’s singing is excellent, by turns graceful and energetic, the standard fully matched by the crisply articulate period-instrument orchestra” (Gramophone) “Ex Cathedra recorded a hypothetical Vespers using music by Vivaldi: Nigel Short …a pleasing communicator of the text. Jeffrey Skidmore directs a near ideal instrumental accompaniment that achieves a good juxtaposition of elegance and solemnity.” - Gramophone
