New Handel and Vivaldi from Harmonia Mundi

Harmonia Mundi have announced the April release of La Nuova Musica’s recording of Handel & Vivaldi’s Dixit Dominus, as well as Vivaldi’s in furore iustissimae irae, sung by  Lucy Crowe. David Bates leads La Nuova Musica in a pair of contrasting settings of Psalm 109. Handel’s masterful and ambitious HWV 282 was penned in 1707 during a youthful visit to Italy. Vivaldi’s vivid and economical RV 807 was long mistakenly attributed to Baldassare Galupp. Rounding out the programme is Vivaldi’s dazzling motet for solo voice, in furore iustissimae irae, featuring soprano Lucy Crowe.
