The revival of Antonio Vivaldi’s music in the 20th century went hand in hand with the new discovery of a large amount of his sacred vocal music which ranged in repertoire from large-scale compositions for the Mass and Vesper to biblical oratorios and solo motets. The first revivals of Vivaldi's church music, including the Gloria and the Credo on the present recording, were received almost as a sensation. They clearly show that, just in the field of church music, Antonio Vivaldi attained some of his greatest artistic achievements.
