I actually felt that the only parts that consistently shone through in this recording were the sopranos and tenors, which is a shame, because Vivaldi is wonderful to sing as an alto. The instrumental part just drowned out the altos and bases here.
I remember having to lead the tenor section of this, and I couldn't even read music. Just the only one who had rhythm. Still, it was our favorite piece of Vivaldi's gloria.
hurray for the basses! And everyone else! :) And the decrescendo at the end makes a lot more sense - I doubt Vivaldi would have written a descending line crescendo.
@mikehardcastle good point -- neither the decrescendo as performed nor the score marking are Vivaldi's own, as dynamic indications are historically later interpolations. Both versions represent performer, not composer intentions -- and you're right, it's hilarious.

I also prefer altos and basses.
When I write arrangements I try to make 'em brighter!
I'm NOT against high pitches, but It's a matter of taste.
It's time to explore low notes, huh?

Nice recording. Funny, the last vocal line is written with a crescendo to fortissimo, however the recording actually does the opposite.
