    The Mediterranean sun and the lively Italian temperament are what made the Gloria of the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi his most popular choral work. Surprisingly, the Vesperae written by the 23-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for the Salzburg Cathedral also bring with it an almost Mediterranean temperament, originating from the young and stormy Mozart’s visits to Italy.

    , soprano
    Alexey Kanunikov
    , bass
    Conductor: Yuval Benozer

    Two wonderful pieces from the French choral repertoire: the Requiem by Maurice Duruflé, and the Mass in G by Francis Poulenc. The Requiem, which brought Duruflé most of his publicity, is a tribute to Gregorian chant and is one of the most performed pieces in the choral repertoire. The original version of the piece, influenced by Gabriel Fauré’s famous requiem, brings the spirit of peace and reconciliation with death, written for organ and choir, and will be performed on the symphonic organ of the Israeli Vocal Ensemble. Along with the Requiem, another French gem will be performed—the Mass in G by Poulenc, characterized by lyrical musical lines, which cast a spell over every listener.
