These arias are all different that what I am used to hearing, but I love them. Are you sure they are Vivaldi? I have the sheet music to Nisi Dominus and these are different.

It's RV 803 not 608

Vivaldi is an endless source of brillant music, and this one is the perfect example. Love it from beginning to end. Good performers too. Thanks for posting

Well that explains it. I didn't know RV 803 existed. This is more beautiful than the 608.

Thank you for this, the RV803 is more beautiful than 608 I think, especially Vanum est Vobis. Tuva is freakin awesome in this!
