A BAROQUE FANTASY: DIALOGUES WITH VIVALDI brings the expressive world of Antonio Vivaldi into quiet conversation with a contemporary voice. Pairing two of Vivaldi’s motets — one sacred, one secular — with a newly composed Stabat Mater, the album explores a shared language of intensity, clarity, and dramatic expression. At its center is Courtney Carey’s Stabat Mater, a work shaped by the voice — by breath, line, and the inflection of text — offering a complementary perspective to Vivaldi’s instrumental imagination. Performed by a distinguished cast of vocalists and realized through the collaboration between Courtney’s Stars of Tomorrow and the Bronx Arts Ensemble, this recording reveals a Baroque world that is intimate, transparent, and deeply immediate.
