La Serenissima explore the sacred works of Vivaldi, many of which were composed for the Ospedale della Pietài – a Venetian institution that cared for unwanted children, which included a talented group of performers (the figlie di coro). The album includes several firsts, including a new recording of a ”lost” Concerto that has recently been credited to Vivaldi, and performances on a newly built Violin in Tromba Marina – an instrument thought unique to the Ospedale which Vivaldi composed for. La Serenissima is recognized as the UK”s leading exponent of the music of 18th-century Venice and connected composers. Uniquely, the group”s entire repertoire is edited from source material, and it has been praised for it”s ”glorious and all-too-rare ability to make one”s pulse race afresh with every new project” (Gramophone). La Serenissima has become synonymous with virtuosity, dynamism and accessibility, uncovering a plethora of new repertoire and making it available to all through live performance, high calibre recording work, education and outreach initiatives.
