Antonio Vivaldi a fost un compozitor baroc italian, virtuoz al viorii și preot. Se numără printre cei mai importanți creatori ai muzicii baroce, a cărui influență, în timpul vieții sale, a cuprins întreaga Europă. A fost renumit mai ales ca pionier al formei de concert.
Albumul Pietà, sacred works for alto a apărut în 2014 pe CD la casa de discuri Erato. Colecția cuprinde 30 de lucrări sacre scrise pentru alto, printre care se remarcă celebrul Stabat Mater RV 621, motetul Clarae stellae, scintillate RV 625, cantata Filiae maestae Jerusalem RV 638 și aria Domine Deus din renumita Gloria RV 589. Înregistrarea ilustrează măiestria lui Vivaldi în scrierea vocală, precum și profunda cunoaștere a muzicii sacre venețiene.
