“As a specialist of Vivaldi’s music, Jean-Christophe Spinosi is aware of the permeability of the boundaries between<br />
sacred music and opera…The conductor and his musicians are past masters in spotlighting the key words to which<br />
Vivaldi brings his special colours and underlining the oppositions that the composer deployed so liberally”, reported Le<br />
Monde de la musique.<br />
This intense life that is so deeply engraved in the Nisi Dominus and the Stabat Mater, felt and revived for our modern era<br />
by the Matheus Ensemble and their conductor, nourishes the generous voices of Marie-Nicole Lemieux and Philippe Jaroussky:<br />
the former “expresses with rare nobility the pain of the woman who suffers and the compassion of the woman who recounts”,<br />
the latter, the “voice of the soul”.<br />
Since their 2003 revival of Vivaldi’s 'Orlando furioso', Marie-Nicole Lemieux, Philippe Jaroussky and Jean-Christophe<br />
Spinosi have been united in a beautiful and enduring win-win love affair with and around music. While they may pair off<br />
with Rossini or Handel, they come together again as a threesome for Vivaldi. [!] Recorded in 2007.
