Overview

Vivaldi – Nisi Dominus; Salve Regina is a captivating and beautifully crafted audio CD featuring some of the most exquisite sacred works by the legendary Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi. Released in 2000 under the prestigious Decca label, this album highlights two of Vivaldi’s most celebrated compositions: the powerful Nisi Dominus and the serene, contemplative Salve Regina.

The performances are led by the internationally acclaimed German countertenor Andreas Scholl, whose rich, velvety alto voice lends a distinctive and deeply emotional interpretation to these Baroque masterpieces. His vocal expressiveness is perfectly complemented by the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, renowned for their authentic period instrument performance style, under the sensitive and dynamic direction of conductor Paul Dyer. Together, this ensemble delivers a vibrant and nuanced rendition that captures both the grandeur and the intimate spirituality inherent in Vivaldi’s sacred music. The interplay between Scholl’s soaring countertenor lines and the orchestra’s intricate textures creates an immersive and uplifting listening experience, transporting the audience to the rich religious and artistic world of early 18th-century Venice. This album is ideal for lovers of Baroque music, sacred choral works, and anyone seeking a deeply moving and spiritually enriching musical journey.
