The great American mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux returns here in an album given over to Vivaldi's religious works, a repertoire in which she excels superbly. There are in fact no fewer than 28 roles in the baroque realm which she performs with a joyful virtuosity, which never borders on the hysteria we see in some of her peers' performances.
Recorded at Vienna's Stephansdom in 2015, with the excellent Bach Consort Wien conducted by its Argentine founder Rubén Dubrovsky, this Hommage à Vivaldi offers up religious works of great expressive power, alternating between pieces as different as the motets In turbato mare irato and Sum in medio tempestatum, and the ambitious setting-to-music of the famous psalm Nisi Dominus. Here, we discover an inspired Vivaldi in his lesser-known works, such as the poignant Kyrie in G Minor with his daring chromatisms or the Credo in E Minor and its finely-sculpted instrumentation.
With a supple, warm voice, Vivica Genaux tackles melismas in Vivaldi's phrases with an unsettling ease, and brings a consummate art to ornamentations and "coloraturas which seem to be born from the wind", in the delightful phrase of a music critic in the German weekly Die Zeit. The Bach Consort Wien accompanies these holy works with the contagious joy that reigned in the happy-go-lucky Vienna of the 18th century, when operatic theatres were as numerous as churches. © François Hudry/Qobuz
