Vivaldi - Gloria 

I am a young teen and I just lost my Mama. She was an opera singer, and sang for 20 years with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus. As a child, I vividly remember sitting in the car listening to Mama singing. She sang every time we were in the car. She sang this most often. I still remember her beautiful voice singing these words of praise to the Lord. As a result, I have most of this work memorized. Every time I hear it, it brings back such wonderful memories that I can't stop crying. I think I cried straight through this. I am following in Mama's footsteps by becoming a violinist. I hope to honor her by gaining entrance into the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in time. Thank you for this truly heartfelt performance of one of Vivaldi's greatest works.

There's something wild about this performance. Proof that classical music doesn't need to be, shouldn't be, stodgy.

Sometimes we forget just how good Vivaldi was. The Gloria is an excellent reminder that the man was a genius.

Vivaldi was an absolute genius! ❤

Happy to know Armenia has a good Philarmonic Orchestra and a good Director.

Absolutely beautiful heavenly. God bless the Armenian people.

VIVALDI + CHOIR OF ARMENIA = GREAT

LONG LIVE ARMENIA... FOREVER !!! Կեցցե Հայաստանը ... ՀԱՎԵՐԺ !!!

Gents, I really do not mind the "Tempo", it seemed correct for me, for my taste. But the beauty of this Vivaldi work is really blatant. For my opinion the Orch., the Choir did very well as well as the soloists and the Conductor, Maestro Mlkeyan. Only one word: Bravissimo ! JAL, from Brazil, South America

Vivaldi’s music are unrivaled in joviality and elegance. This Gloria is a masterpiece of sublime harmony and amazing musicality. His music is unparalleled and fabulous. Viva Vivaldi and its incredible and extraordinary music.The direction, the choir, the soloists and interpretation of the orchestra are superb. Thanks for this remarkable recording.

Having thought about it, I have to amend my previous comment: This is THE BEST Vivaldi Gloria I have ever heard!

Thank you, Armenia, for such a beautiful and lofty rendition. Truly celestial!!

Splendida scelta delle voci femminili che cantano senza usare portamenti lirici...ma scolpendo le parole come insegna il canto gregoriano e legando in maniera nobile. Il prete Rosso conosceva benissimo il canto Gregoriano e Monteverdiano......orchestra e Coro perfetti....una vera sorpresa...e il direttore che si capisce Ama questo capolavoro assoluto. Affascinanti i rubati quando il canto si fa dolente....e certi preziosi rallentamenti...degni del magnifico testo.....Chapeau!

Երբեմն իսկական արվեստը հենց կողքիդ է , չես նկատել. Շնորհակալություն հոգեկան մեծ բավականություն ստացա ,

This unheralded little chamber group deserves much wider exposure! Every player, every member of the chorus, and every soloist (who a marvelous always) is in dead earnest. The unpretentious conductor is clearly a man who knows his business and is a consummate and very precise musician. Well done, Armenia! Keep the Faith and keep your great cultural power. (USA)

Հիանալի կատարում, արժանի գովասանքի, մենք հպարտ ենք ձեզմով 👍👍👍🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲

Fine performance of Vivaldi's entire RV 589 work. The soprano solo (M. Galoyan) with oboe and organ accompaniment beginning at 10:30 was especially moving. The applause of the audience most certainly was well deserved.

I've sung this a couple of times with my choir, and heard it performed several more times by others, but this is by far the crispest, most energetic and exciting rendition I've heard. It's exactly how this work should be performed. All power to the conductor for keeping the singers and instrumentalists up to speed in the faster passages - a surprising tempo at first, but then you realise just how right it is. It would have been thrilling to hear live.

Marvellous and very, moving moving. These wonderful people keep the faith at the southern gate of Christendom.

Une musique céleste et puissante qui me fait penser à ma mère arménienne qui n''est plus de ce monde et pourtant présente par ce concert. Merci

Perfect tempo. Half an hour ride to heaven

I'm gonna cry. Perfect. Beautiful. Thank you

The choir is MAGNIFICIENT !

wasn't that such a rich and warm sound from the contralto? really wonderful to listen to, and such a great blend with the soprano. i love the courageous tempo, really brings out the Vivaldi. melodic, lyrical; you don't need enunciation when you are singing a wholly familiar text in Latin, what difference does it make. bold, brassy from the first measure. really had me sitting bolt upright. very bright sound. when i've sung this it always seemed to drag, though of course i love the piece. this reading brought it to life alright. thanks for the post. Seasons greetings.

Simplesmente divina a performance tanto do coro como da orquestra da Armênia. Me emocionou muito. Parabéns a todos !!

Todas las composiciones de Vivaldi son obras de arte. Principalmente el Gloria me hace llorar de tanta emoción, ❤❤❤❤

Прекрасна изведба од страна на Ерменија , Браво ! Beautiful performance . A magnificent display of the majesty of classical music . BRAVOo to the armenian national chamber of orchestra !

Ah sweet memories..performed this under Dr. Crawford Gates years ago...and later as a conductor with a wonderful church choir in Gig Harbor Washington. I took slower tempos...but this is a wonderful performance.Thank you.

Merci à toute l'Arménie pour cette version forte et émouvante.

This is an absolutely wonderful performance of Gloria! The tempo is absolutely correct. That's the fab job of the Armenian musicians, their country is so unbelievably reach in talented musicians and performers.

Համ ապրեն հայերը որ քարտեզի վրա հազիվ երևալով տալիս են այսքան տաղանդավոր երաժիշտներ Համ էլ ապրեն իտալացիները որ աշխարհին են տվել Վիվալդի

This is the most outstanding performance of Vivaldi,s Gloria I,ve ever heard

Bravo magnifico. Armenia el pueblo mas sufrido y digno del mundo.

I've performed this (as a member of the bass section) and heard it performed a dozen times, and this is one of the best performances, if not THE best, I've ever seen. The PRECISION and accuracy, the aggressiveness of the attacks and cut-offs, the lovely dynamic shadings, are all simply magnificent. This is a world-class ensemble that I would put up against the Atlanta Symphony under the baton of Robert Shaw without any fear of it being put in even a square inch of shade. Simply outstanding.

I've returned again and again to this remarkable performance - so confident, reverent, energetic! Bravo to all in this ensemble. Thanks for the upload. Praying for safety of the Armenian Church & people.

One of the very best performances I have ever heard. Bravo Bravo

I was in a school choir and orchestra, we performed this one year. I can still feel the power of the music and voices. Superb.

Ho sentito altre esecuzioni del Gloria,ma questa è davvero emozionante. Il coro è molto ben diretto e in sintonia con l orchestra. Complimenti all'Armenia per questa formazione.

The best music . Viva ARMENIA !

The only thing one can say about this beautiful Armenian rendition is, “Gloria in excelsis Deo!”

If it were posible to press the like button a thousand times it still wouldn’t be enough to show how much this performance boosts my state of mind. Pure talent Armenia choir !

Excuse my ignorance but didn’t know this piece existed until today. Loved the four seasons but 300 years later and Vilvaldi is still capable of touching people beyond his lifetime!!! Genius

Glorious, so smooth, so much tenderness. . .

amazing!!!!! I´m totally blown away by your balanced sound and voice virtuosity

Perfect! Greetings from Serbia Armenian brothers!

10:30 this piece has been executed beyond perfection!

Bonsoir, peu importe ou nous nous trouvons c'est une musique qui s'écoute partout ! ... Merci

Super!!! Ich bin begeistert-beste Aufführung,Chorklang&Solisten, Begleitung und Dirigat !!!!!!!

A melhor interpretação do Gloria de Vivaldi que eu já vi e ouvi. Estou muito surpreso com Orquestra de Câmara da Armênia, e muito, muito grato por tão magnifica execução.

Amazing performance, the soloists and tempo are excellent! It’s a pity to have an ad interrupt this masterpiece😒

What a great performance! I am stunned by the sound of the choir, the crispness of the orchestra. It is a beautifull experience through and through. The conducter makes it all vibrate with vitality and panache... it was marvellous!!!

Antonio Vivaldi compositore straordinario che con la sua musica ha conquistato tutto il mondo.

Magnífica interpretación. Muy buen tempo, ritmo al más puro estilo vivaldiano. Me gusta muchísimo. Gracias.

cuando estudiaba en la escuela de música de mi ciudad, participe en esta misa, como tenor integrante del coro, que hermosos recuerdos se me vienen a la mente, que hermosa pieza de vivaldi

I performed this. It is not too fast the tempo is correct. The female vocalists who sang the first duet, have the beautiful, bright and crystal clear voices, full of metal, found in singers of Eastern Europe. (The preference for this type of voice is a matter of personal taste of course.) Vivaldi should not drag. This is a very good performance. The chorus is top notch. Posted by Tarik's mother Phyllis

A very fine performance from the Eastern edge of European culture. I'm Scottish and ensembles such as the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Dunedin Consort fulfil the same function at the Western edge of European culture. It is that cultural legacy that binds us all together.

Beautiful paformance new friend here 🙋

A los múltiples elogios que pueden hacerse a Vivaldi, uno que es insólito, pero absolutamente real: Vivaldi hace que la música sacra no sea pesada, sino al revés, resulta muy amena. Es una genialidad más en el. Su música vocal es fascinante.

Orquestração com um impacto maravilhoso.Parabéns

I have chills listening. Vivaldi is an otherworldly experience, as is Bach.

haaaaaaaa!!! ce VIVALDI : quel CHEF-D'OEUVRE++

Gloria in Excelsis Deo. Glorious music and magnificent performance.This is the antechamber to Heaven. Vivaldi's music is like that. BRAVO!!!!!!!

In one Word: BEAUTIFUL!!!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PERFORMANCE! Thanks so much!

BRAVO NATIONAL CHAMBER ORCHESTRA OF ARMENIA, BRAVO ROBERT MLKEYAN!!!

Wie wunderschön gesungen, das Domine Deus.Es berührt die Seele.Vielen Dank Aus Österreich

Wonderfull version of Gloria by Vivaldi !! Goodness to the Armenian people.

What a beautyful Choir of Angel's bless Armenia.

I’ve been looking for this Armenian rendition since I listened from the classic radio channel from the South Korea. Such a beautiful and wonderful choir and thank you so much 💕👍🏻😍

A marvelous way to greet a spring morning. All of God's"Gloria" surrounds us today.

I loved this! There is a feeling of truth about it.. It is the ultimate expression of worship, from the heart!

Hell's tempo, also more than musical notes in love. I'm impressed, thank you for posting this Gloria version.

Great performance by all. I was particularly impressed by the mezzo, she sounds more like an alto singer. What a beautiful voice she has. WOW!

Es una de las interpretaciones más hermosas del Gloria de Vivaldi, por su gran calidad en todos los aspectos técnicos e interpretativo

Absolutely BREATHTAKINGLY beautiful.

With Music like these, I am ready and willing to stay in this world a bit longer!

Bravo Ladies and gentlemen of the,choir and orchestra, for a superb performance of a tricky piece of music. You're Maestro is one who could do wonders for some of the Weatern choirs who very often never keep together, lack fire and enthusiasm, and more to the point either have NEVER been told about interpretation,or dynamics or simply are unable to produce a crisp clean, and beautiful sound/ tone. This Armenian choir are absolutely the goods. No doubt about it. WELL DONE EVERYBODY.

Vivaldi has achieved what few composers.couldn'tJust like the complexity of the current in the sea.The human feeling is bathed by contradiction It often express the contrary what it undertake.Music it swept aside reasoning,it motivates a language uncomprehensive to the common but so refreshing for the tormented soul

Apart from Christmas Choral Music, Vivaldi's Gloria is my favourite Choral piece of music, in this video it is performed very well.

How nice and professional! Congrats to the one trumpet player and other soloists!

A beautiful performance. Loved the tempi.

Wonderful! I have sung this many times over the past 40 + years, and I love it even more every year!

հոյակապ ստեղծագործություն, անթերի կատարում, ԿԵՑՑԵՔ, ՇՆՈՐՀԱԿԱԼՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ

Magnificent melody of Heaven !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.

Gloria al Padre, Gloria al Hijo y Gloria al Espíritu Santo, como era en un principio, ahora y siempre; por los siglos de los siglos.

The tempo is perfect love it

Proud to be Armenian!

Cet ensemble (chef, solistes, choeur et orchestre) sont super, aussi dans les autres interprétations sur youtube. Ma favorite: M. Galoyan, quelle belle voix, et pas trop de vibrato, Dieu merci!

Fab job Armenian musicians and singers. Beautifully played and sung. There's something different about the sound as opposed to West European sound. Magnifique

I really have seldom heard something beautiful like this. Thank so much! And I am also a singer.

I have no problem with the tempo. This is a fabulous performance!

Admirable Orquesta de ARMENIA, las sinfonías inmortales fantástico. From Colombia con Amor.

Cuando en mi infancia descubrí Vivaldi en las Cuatro estaciones, al lado de otros clásicos fue quien con su mágica vibrante armonía me condujo a otros en una especie de enamoramiento que se convirtió en una pasión. Corelli, Handel, Bach y otros completaron este complejo y maravilloso mosaico de mi gusto por la mas hermosa creación de la humanidad.

Wunderschön. Das Gloria von Vivaldi ist eines der beeindruckendsten Werke klassischer Musik.

My beautifully talented wife is singing this in her choir for charity soon.

This completely captured my soul. Took my heart. Isn't that what he best music is supposed to do?

Mój ulubiony Vivaldi byłby zachwycony tym performance brawo!!!!!!!!!!!! dyrygent chór orkiestra perfect ,,!,,,,,,,! ,A solistki !!!! Jestem pełen podziwu Gratulacje dla wszystkich , jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem POZDRAWIAM i życzę wielu sukcesów w dalszej pracy kocham Armenie
