World Premiere recordings
• Vivaldi’s Dixit Dominus, his third known setting of the text, is a large scale piece for six soloists, choir and orchestra, divided in 11 parts – a total of 20 minutes of the finest Baroque sacred music.
• The Dixit Dominus will be coupled with world-premiere recordings of three shorter psalm settings from the Dresden library, all written by Baldassarre Galuppi. Galuppi will enjoy increased attention from the music world in 2006, the year marking his 300th anniversary.
• The manuscript was rediscovered only in 2005 at the Sächsische Landesbibliothek Dresden, where it had gone unnoticed for more than 200 years, wrongly attributed to Vivaldi’s younger contemporary Baldassarre Galuppi.
• Peter Kopp and the Körnerscher Sing-Verein and Dresdner Instrumental-Concert are renowned for their performances of many rediscovered masterpieces from the vast heritage of 18th-century music tradition at the Dresden court. They are joined by a handpicked cast of first-class Baroque vocalists, ensuring that the musical quality of these interpretations will be of the highest level.
• This album features an important composition that has not been heard for over two centuries – a remarkable release no Baroque fan will want to miss.
