Description

The most famous of several Vivaldi works entitled Gloria (RV 589), this edition by Clayton Westermann includes a short preface to explain performance practice. of the three recorded Glorias Vivaldi wrote, only two survive (RV 588 and RV 589), while RV 590 is presumably lost. Although they are now often performed at sacred events including Christmas, the Glorias remained in relative obscurity until a revival performance by Alfredo Casella during "Vivaldi Week" in Siena in 1939.
