Das Geistliche Chorwerk = Complete Sacred Choral Music = Intégrale De La Musique Sacrée Avec Chœurs (Folge / Volume 3)

Released in 1979 by Philips Classics, this recording is part of an ambitious project conducted by Vittorio Negri to systematically document the sacred vocal works of Antonio Vivaldi. This specific volume captures a period of high academic and artistic interest in the Baroque repertoire, utilizing the English Chamber Orchestra and the John Alldis Choir to bring a polished, mid-20th-century interpretation to liturgical music that had been largely neglected until the mid-century Vivaldi revival.

The production represents the refined aesthetic of the Philips 'Living Baroque' series, which favored clarity, instrumental precision, and high-fidelity sound engineering. With vocal contributions from established soloists like Margaret Marshall and Ann Murray, the recording was praised by contemporary critics for its disciplined yet emotive approach, successfully bridging the gap between historical musicology and the accessibility of classical label recordings during the late 1970s.
