Vivaldi & Händel - Gloria & Dixit Dominus (Philips - 2001)

'“A new recording from early music specialist John Eliot Gardiner is always an event. This disc features vivid performances of two classics from the choral music repertoire - the Vivaldi 'Gloria', sung regularly by choirs worldwide, and the technically-demanding 'Dixit Dominus' by Handel. An exciting bonus is the inclusion of the recently discovered handel 'Gloria' for soprano and string orchestra. The discovery of this new work, which was found in the library of the Royal Academy of Music in London, has been described as the most significant event in the world of Baroque music for years. To record this 'new' work John Eliot Gardiner chose rising star Gillian Keith, a young Canadian soprano who recently won the prestigious Kathleen Ferrier prize”.' – Opuscds.com
