Antonio Vivaldi byl italský barokní skladatel, houslový virtuos a kněz. Patří k nejvýznamnějším tvůrcům barokní hudby, jehož vliv v době jeho života zasahoval celou Evropu. Proslul zejména jako průkopník koncertní formy.
Album Pietà, sacred works for alto vyšlo v roce 2014 na CD u vydavatelství Erato. Sbírka přináší 30 duchovních skladeb napsaných pro altový hlas, mezi nimiž vyniká proslulé Stabat Mater RV 621, moteto Clarae stellae, scintillate RV 625, kantáta Filiae maestae Jerusalem RV 638 a árie Domine Deus ze slavné Glorie RV 589. Nahrávka ukazuje Vivaldiho mistrovství v psaní pro hlas i jeho důvěrnou znalost duchovní hudby benátské tradice.
