  • Gloria

    The Israeli Vocal Ensemble
    Barrocade Orchestra
    Soloists:
    Einat Avraham, soprano
    Tom Ben Ishai, soprano
    Noa Doron, alto
    Conductor: Yuval Benozer

    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.
