Vivaldi – Stabat Mater – Nisi Dominus – 1er air de la Cantate

Description

Si l’œuvre instrumentale de Vivaldi est aujourd’hui bien connue, il n’en va pas de même pour l’œuvre vocale – profane et religieuse. Or, en ce domaine Également, les chefs d’œuvre abondent. Notamment dans la musique d’Église : ici, le compositeur se souvient qu’il est abbé, homme de Dieu. Sa foi vient alors féconder son génie et lui conférer une dimension supplémentaire. On en aura la preuve en écoutant l’admirable psaume Nisi Dominus ou le bouleversant Stabat Mater…

Vivaldi’s instrumental works are very well known to us today, but the same cannot be said of his vocal works, whether secular or religious, which nevertheless include a great number of masterpieces, particularly among his church music, where the composer brings to the fore his role as priest and man of God. His genius is enriched by his faith and takes on an extra dimension. This becomes quite obvious when we listen to the admirable psalm Nisi Dominus or the deeply moving Stabat Mater. ..
