VIVALDI Gloria

Maxim Emelyanychev conductor

Tim Mead counter tenor

SCO Chorus

Gregory Batsleer Chorus Director

Exhilarating choral splendours from across two centuries, with the magnificent SCO Chorus and an exceptional line-up of vocal soloists under the vibrant direction of Maxim Emelyanychev.

A hymn of praise to the creator, the Gloria brings you joy and life-affirming optimism whatever your beliefs. Vivaldi’s Gloria is one of the dazzling jewels of Baroque music – sunny, exuberant, and an all-embracing celebration of light and life. Poulenc’s Gloria blends Gallic wit and sophistication with its profound spiritual expression and is a captivating mix of the sacred and the playful.

To begin though, Poulenc unleashes zesty energy and musical mischief to celebrate French liberation after World War Two – his Sinfonietta is an outpouring of happiness, and the closest he came to writing a symphony.
