I had the strangest experience today. I play Vivaldi's music nonstop. I usually go to a Cafe which has an outdoor seating area and a lot of privacy. Today I was listening to this video. After a few minutes, I became aware of another person sitting close by. I didn't pay much attention as I was enjoying the music immensely. I must have not charged my phone enough because as soon as in Terra pax started to play , my phone went dead. I was aware of the other person opening a violin case. I was intensely irritated so I didn't pay much attention until he stood and began playing In Terra pax, where my phone had left off. Such beautiful music! I really notice the musician for the first time. I noticed his slender build, beautiful eyes and red wavy hair. He sure looked the portraits I have seen of Vivaldi
Simply wanderful. Thanks to everybody. Singers, master, videomaker, sound, and my beloved Venezia ! Thank you again. Honor to my preferred priest composer Antonio Vivaldi.
My introduction to Vivaldi was listening to a high school choir practice Domine Fili unigenite. I fell in love in an instant. This is easily the best recording. God bless you all.
I played this one specifically for Et In Terra Pax. I love that piece. I always get very vivid images of places in my mind when I hear music and this one takes me back to a place where I lived as a child, a place where I felt very safe. That's a rare state to achieve in these times.
Ho visto, sentito il gloria ,vi ringrazio infinitamente , le voci meravigliose , i costimi dell' epoca, l'ambientazione,mi sono commosso ho pianto ma dalla gioia nell'ascoltare questo capolavoro eseguito fa queste meravigliose musiciste e cantanti, grazie infinite.
Wonderful documentary honoring the music and lives of Vivaldi and the women of the Italian orphanage who created and performed beautiful music for our world. This history is truly miraculous and of the utmost goodness in that people who were abandoned and discarded were transformed into people who were wanted and loved and made the most sublimely beautiful music together.
This recreation of Vivaldi's Gloria, the way it was meant to be performed, in the very place it might have been performed, is absolutely perfect. Grazie mille maestro Vivaldi, e le sue donne.
This is such a wonderful warm performance of a much loved work. It is easy for performances of this work to become ultra purified. But this has the the full bloodiedness of Venice and our beloved Antonio Vivaldi. Just wonderful.
Such an excellent performance. I performed this piece with other high school students in down town Sydney in 1989. It was an amazing experience. Listening to it now gives me a goosebump.
Wow! Nice 2005 Gloria in "act 1". I was hoping "act 2" would be the acclaimed 2006 BBC documentary directed by Rupert Edwards - it looked in too good a shape until the credits rolled - but yes it is. People, we are very lucky here. The uploaders might want to add some details about the documentary to the header and info above, it merits a lot of views. I see Mickey White there who published a later book on Vivaldi and his documents, though the documents are in Italian and not translated. For-fee machine translators are finally pretty good at Italian to English, nice if she could run the valuable book through one of those.
Beautiful! The low voices are the best part for me. I, for one cannot speak as much because my voice sounds rather like baritonish froggy from that chest cold I have. LOL!
¡GRACIAS! Un rayo de luz, de cielo y de esperanza en medio de las insensateces y culto a lo feo con que nos bombardean todos los días, alimento para los esclavos. Por el contrario estas son aguas vivas que calman la sed del alma, leche y miel alimento de lo más noble y generoso que existe en el interior de cada uno, como una perla en el lodo.
Vivaldi is one of my favourite composers, and this rendition of Gloria is definitely my favourite. I had never watched the documentary, and today I decided to look if anyone had put the documentary together with the performance, and I'm very glad I found it.
This was such a fantastic documentary, thank you.!!Just one note, as to Tiepolo's fresco in the Pieta, they were waiting for him to return from Wurtzburg not Madrid. Would have liked to see the entire fresco panned at some point in opening piece.
Le Gloria de Vivaldi est comme un chef d'oeuvre inoubliable parmi tous les autres chefs d'oeuvre du Classique.. Joyeux, simple, ample et vif, grave et lumineux , il allie toutes les qualités nécessaires à un chef d'oeuvre...
The documentary was based on Micky White's archival research into Vivaldi's life and work at the Pietà, and could easily have been much longer. She looked at the manuscript of Aghatta's "Motetto per Louisa" in the Museo Correr, and Anna Maria's violin cadenzas (demonstrated in the programme by Nadja Zwiener) for example. Her book "Antonio Vivaldi - a life in documents" is an objective account of the subject, and we believe she is planning a second volume, based on the lives of the women.
1) this is an OUTSTANDING effort and presentation, but 2) at least 75% of these performers are way older than any of vivaldi's wards. just a heads up to those who think this is as authentic as it gets. it's BRILLIANT, it's CLOSE, but not authentic.
Babies in the trash?! I mean, I heard of a couple cases here and abroad, but that is not “a problem we have in Italy”…seriously? She makes it look like we find babies all over the place. Absolutely not.
Martín Lutero se cargó con su reforma protestante la alabanza divina de las misas luteranas. Protestantes tened valor y no seáis cobardes mandar a Martín Lutero al olvido y volved a amar a Dios en plenitud y amor que solo puede dar el verdadero lazo de unión que es la iglesia católica romana vaticana
A female bass? That must be pretty rare. Female tenors must be almost as rare. There used to be adult male sopranos. They were known as castratos. And yes that does mean what you think it does. They were necessary in Christian music because women were not allowed to sing in a church. The last castrato died in 1922. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrato
For a discussion of female tenors and basses in Vivaldi please see ruclips.net/video/ujXYRmGJgTs/видео.html. We see a snapshot of life at the Pietà in the 1718 inventory drawn up by Meneghina (the Priora), which lists 59 women musicians, of whom 27 were singers (at least four of these were also instrumentalists): 6 “singers” (voice unspecified), 8 sopranos, 6 contraltos, 1 "contralto tenor" (Lugretia), 5 tenors, 1 bass (Anna).
We think it's ghastly to castrate boys to keep their voices high. But sailors had a vastly worse life with rotten food, scurvy, and being in cramped quarter. So there were boys that voluntary submitted to the operation.

Perhaps it was the spirit of Vivaldi - you lucky person.
Wonderful!!!!!!!
Simply wanderful. Thanks to everybody. Singers, master, videomaker, sound, and my beloved Venezia ! Thank you again. Honor to my preferred priest composer Antonio Vivaldi.
My late wife loved this piece - seeing and hearing those beautiful girls singing gets me teary every time. Thanks.
😢
The music is wonderful, the historical setting and the orphanage help to appreciate Vivaldi's world so much more.
Since I'm interesting in ancient time, this document leads me going back to 300 years ago of Italy.❤Thank you so much for uploading😊

The world has gone utterly mad. What can transcend such absolute beauty; thank you.
@Frank Skoda-Simmons madpid.
I’ve been trying to find the documentary for ages! Thank you it was awesome to watch
Thank you so much to put again Vivaldi’s Women, it reminds me a lot of things when I was younger
Wow! This is pure gold… Exactly what I was looking for in my quest to understand the great maestro. Thank you so much.
❤️❤️❤️🙏
Another one very good indeed. 10:37am on Wednesday morning. Seamus from Ireland,

How beautiful! Thank you for putting this out in our sorry world! Soothing! Lots of great memories, too!

The world has sunk to great depths. Thank God for such wondrous music.
Eine wunderbare und sehr authentische Darbietung. Es hat mich sehr bewegt. 🎻

Che servizio grandioso avete fatto,grandi veramente,da brividi.Vivaldi sarebbe stato orgoglioso nel vedere questo.!!!
The very best version on the web, many thanks
Beautiful production!
Such an excellent performance. I performed this piece with other high school students in down town Sydney in 1989. It was an amazing experience. Listening to it now gives me a goosebump.
Absolutely the right "Tempo" especially for "Domine Fili unigenite". And best compliments for the right pronunciation of latin!
Beautiful Documentary
Thank you
Even none other than Johann Sebastian Bach admired Vivaldi! Enough said!
Thank you so much for bringing this lovely documentary back! Now....consider releasing it on dvd so I can buy it.

Listening this wonderful music and chore one feels to be in Heaven!
Me too!

muito lindo
This documentary is very interesting about the life of this refuge of La Pietat and Vuvaldi's life todo.
Thank you so very much, wonderful

Grazie!
splendido! grandissimo Maestro il nostro prete rosso!!!
Why this documentary doesn’t mention that several of Vivaldi’s students became composers and teachers in their own right?
The documentary was based on Micky White's archival research into Vivaldi's life and work at the Pietà, and could easily have been much longer. She looked at the manuscript of Aghatta's "Motetto per Louisa" in the Museo Correr, and Anna Maria's violin cadenzas (demonstrated in the programme by Nadja Zwiener) for example. Her book "Antonio Vivaldi - a life in documents" is an objective account of the subject, and we believe she is planning a second volume, based on the lives of the women.
Magnificent sound e imagine
Lindo.
exquisite!
Low quality of sound: (very small) white noise! :-(
the contralto is the same female tenor of gloria patri?
1) this is an OUTSTANDING effort and presentation, but 2) at least 75% of these performers are way older than any of vivaldi's wards. just a heads up to those who think this is as authentic as it gets. it's BRILLIANT, it's CLOSE, but not authentic.
Why

Why is nobody asking how did they get women who can sing tenor and bass for the Gloria
Ah! Lajos!!!! My. Ladies?....
God bless you all...
1:04:00 lowest female note?

@@johnhudelson2652 They agreed to be castrated to get out of naval service? Life as a sailor must have been pretty terrible.
