Baldassere Galuppi: Dixit Dominus

Ghislieri Consort & Choir
Giulio Prandi, conductor

For over a decade, the Ghislieri ensemble, born within the prestigious Collegio Ghislieri in Pavia, has been responsible for changing the way we look at the sacred repertoire of the 18th century by introducing the public to works lesser-known works by great masters or composers who are rarely programmed. We are thinking in particular of Baldassarre Galuppi, Niccolò Jommelli and Davide Perez, who have been the subject of a series of recordings at Amadeus and Harmonia mundi.

In this month of January 2018, The Italian ensemble celebrates its 15th anniversary with the release of a recording of Pergolesi's Mass in D major and mottettone Dignas laudes, as well as a tour to Malta, Pavia and Amsterdam.

For its debut at the prestigious Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the concert was programmed as part of the Zaterdagmatinée, under the artistic direction of Kees Vlaardingerbroek, and broadcast by Radio 4.

The morning begins with Pergolesi's Mass in D major, a true journey spiritual, carried out with great precision and refinement. The musical immersion is such that the tension remains constant also in the silences separating the different parts of the mass.
Among the soloists, we notice the warm voice with the touching fragility of the soprano Sonia Tedla Chebreab , and the full and percussive timbre of the tenor Raffaele Giordani.

Composed in 1751 for the Basilica of San Pietro in Rome, Jommelli's Miserere, here played by the choir accompanied only by the two organs, closes this first part.
Emerging in pianissimo, the four voices of the choir gradually intertwine, declaiming the first words, interrupted by a monody, which will punctuate the entire piece. In an organic and convincing manner, the whole transcends this dynamic and striking work.

Even if Sometimes technical challenges prevent the voices from blossoming (Dominus a destris tuis), Vivaldi's Dixit Dominus ends the concert beautifully with a striking trumpet flourish (Judicabit in nationibus) and a sweet De torrente, performed by Marta Redaelli, a soprano with a soft timbre and a careful legato.

After a standing ovation from a nearly full house, Giulio Prandi offered as an encore the first part of another Dixit Dominus, that of Baldassarre Galuppi.
