Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale Vivaldi's Gloria
Corelli’s Concerto grosso was “made for the night of Christmas,” while Vivaldi’s Gloria is his most enduring work of sacred vocal music. These 18th-century classics are paired with possible future classics of the 21st: a world premiere by British baritone-turned-composer Roderick Williams and a U.S. premiere by Pulitzer–Prize winner Caroline Shaw.
