Antonio Vivaldi to włoski kompozytor barokowy, wirtuoz skrzypiec i duchowny. Należy do najwybitniejszych twórców epoki baroku, a jego wpływ za życia obejmował całą Europę. Zasłynął zwłaszcza jako pionier formy koncertowej.
Album Pietà, sacred works for alto ukazał się w roku 2014 na CD nakładem wytwórni Erato. Zbiór zawiera 30 utworów sakralnych napisanych na głos altowy, wśród których wyróżnia się słynny Stabat Mater RV 621, motet Clarae stellae, scintillate RV 625, kantata Filiae maestae Jerusalem RV 638 oraz aria Domine Deus ze słynnej Glorii RV 589. Nagranie ukazuje mistrzostwo Vivaldiego w pisaniu na głos oraz jego gruntowną znajomość weneckiej muzyki sakralnej.
