Pandolfis Consort

Works by Antonio Vivaldi by definition fall within the repertoire of an Ancient music ensemble such as Pandolfis Consort, which specialisesin Renaissance and Baroque music. The fact that the orchestra, founded in 2004 by violist Elzbieta Sajka-Bachler, is nowreleasing a second album of motets and instrumental concertos by the Grand Master from Venice within just two years testifies onone hand to Vivaldi’s rich oeuvre, but on the other hand to how much Vivaldi’s compositional art is close to the hearts of the musicians.The result is once again an extremely varied program, in which the motets In furore iustissimae irae RV 626, O qui coeli terraequeserenitas RV 631, Ostro picta, armata spina RV 642 / Introduzzione al Gloria, RV 589 as well as the eponymous Nulla in mundopax sincera RV 630 – each for soprano (Aleksandra Zamojska), strings and basso continuo are interwoven with the Concerto forCello (Michal Stahel) in D minor, RV 405 as well as the Concertos for Strings and b. c. RV 157 and RV 119.
