Overview

"Mottetti" is a compelling collection of sacred vocal works by Antonio Vivaldi, brought to life through the luminous voices of Anke Herrmann and Laura Polverelli, accompanied by the Academia Montis Regalis under the sensitive and historically informed direction of Alessandro De Marchi. Released in 2004 by Opus111, this recording features a selection of motets (RV 629, 631, 633, 623, 628, and 630), offering a profound insight into Vivaldi’s rich sacred oeuvre.

While Vivaldi is best known for his concertos and instrumental works, his sacred music reflects a deeply expressive and spiritual dimension of his artistry. The motets on this album—written for solo voice, strings, and continuo—combine dazzling vocal virtuosity with moments of introspective lyricism. These pieces, often composed for talented singers at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, demonstrate Vivaldi’s unique ability to fuse sacred text with operatic expressiveness and technical brilliance. Alessandro De Marchi and the Academia Montis Regalis bring these motets to life with clarity, precision, and a profound respect for Baroque style. The use of period instruments adds depth and authenticity to the performance, enriching the emotional and spiritual atmosphere of each work. This recording is an essential addition to any collection of Baroque sacred music, illuminating an often-overlooked aspect of Vivaldi’s genius.

French Translation - Overview 

« Mottetti » est un enregistrement remarquable regroupant des œuvres vocales sacrées d’Antonio Vivaldi, interprétées par les superbes voix de Anke Herrmann et Laura Polverelli, accompagnées par l’Academia Montis Regalis sous la direction sensible et historiquement informée d’Alessandro De Marchi. Paru en 2004 chez Opus111, ce disque présente une sélection de motets (RV 629, 631, 633, 623, 628 et 630), offrant un aperçu saisissant de la richesse du répertoire sacré de Vivaldi.

Bien que Vivaldi soit surtout célèbre pour ses concertos et ses œuvres instrumentales, sa musique sacrée révèle une facette profondément expressive et spirituelle de son art. Les motets présents sur cet album — écrits pour voix soliste, cordes et continuo — allient virtuosité vocale éblouissante et moments de lyrisme intérieur. Composés, pour la plupart, pour les jeunes chanteuses talentueuses de l’Ospedale della Pietà à Venise, ces motets illustrent l’aptitude unique de Vivaldi à marier la force du texte sacré avec une expressivité quasi opératique et une grande finesse technique. La direction d’Alessandro De Marchi, précise et respectueuse du style baroque, ainsi que l’interprétation raffinée de l’Academia Montis Regalis sur instruments d’époque, apportent une profondeur et une authenticité exceptionnelles à ces œuvres. Ce disque constitue une contribution précieuse à toute collection de musique sacrée baroque, mettant en lumière un pan souvent méconnu du génie de Vivaldi.
