J. S. Bach and Vivaldi's Magnificats: desert island repertoire to illustrate the splendor of the orchestra Le Concert des Nations and choir of La Capella Reial de Catalunya. Jordi Savall offers a vivid and striking performance of these two masterpieces, recorded live at the Royal Chapel in Versailles in 2013. Each of them is introduced by a concerto by the same composer in the same tonality. The superlative performance of Pierre Hantaï in the Concerto BWV1052 is another jewel to the crown of this album.

The bonus DVD features both Magnificats and Bach's Concerto. It is in PAL format only. The DVD will not play on most U.S. DVD players but should play on computer DVD drives. Read less
