Vivaldi was first recognised for the secular side of his immense oeuvre, his sacred work only being rediscovered in the 1940s!
Yet the "red-headed priest" composed many masterpieces, particularly during his service at the Seminario Musical dell'Ospedale della Pietà, a religious institution where young orphaned or abandoned girls received a purely musical education. "Playing Vivaldi is simply exhilarating. Approaching his music is a bit like going to a yoga class: sometimes you're reluctant to go, but in the end you're bathed in the greatest jubilation. After several decades of scrutinising it, I confess I still haven't tired of it."
