FURY / MERCY

Channa Malkin, La Sfera Armoniosa, Mike Fentross

Format: Digital

In FURY / MERCY, soprano Channa Malkin and the early music ensemble La Sfera Armoniosa conducted by Mike Fentross present a deeply personal and emotionally charged exploration of Antonio Vivaldi's vocal and instrumental works. This album transitions seamlessly between opera arias, sacred motets and concerti, exploring the extremes of the human emotional spectrum - from fiery rage to tender mercy. The programme begins with music from La fida ninfa, where betrayal and longing unfold in heartbreaking intimate arias. The programme then moves from the thundering cry of Armatae face et anguibus from Juditha Triumphans to the calm and redemptive beauty of the motet In furore iustissimae irae. Along the way, the album makes use of lesser-known Vivaldi gems - such as the Concerto in D minor "Madrigalesco" - all selected and interpreted with the intention of revealing the transformative power of emotion through music.
