Laudate pueri • Collegium 1704

Antonio Vivaldi is one of the composers whose work is substantially represented in the archives of Dresden, one of the most vibrant music cen­tres of eighteenth-century Europe. His relation­ship with the Dresden Orchestra was shaped primarily by his pupil and later concertmaster at the court of the Saxon Electors, Johann Georg Pisendel. The brilliant instrumental programme will be enriched by Vivaldi‘s Laudate pueri RV 601 with wind instruments, performed by the excel­lent young German soprano Mirella Hagen, one of the rising stars of international stages.
