This CD is not separately available any more, but it's included in the Brilliant Classics Vivaldi Masterworks box. I've just posted a review of Laudate Pueri and In Furore as sung by Sandrine Piau with the Accademia Bizantina. It's worth a listening-test comparison of the two performances, if both are available to you.

The three motets on this CD are among Vivaldi's most emotionally vibrant vocal compositions. Written for a soprano with both a Mozartian coloratura range, up to Queen of the Night pitches, and Donizetti agility, they make maximum demands on the singer. Magda Kalmar acquits herself well on this CD - excellent pitch, ringing tones without warbling vibrato, athletic phrasing - but she's not Sandrine Piau. She doesn't have the expressiveness or the subtle control of dynamics, and her highest half-octave timbre is slightly wiry. Still, she's awfully good, easily good enough to deserve a hearing. It's the orchestra that is sorrily deficient - an oversized ensemble of modern instruments playing by conservatory tuning without any audible sense of Baroque phrasing. For poor Magda, it must feel like dancing on a plush carpet. I've never heard a side-by-side comparison of two recordings that demonstrates more clearly the value of historical performance practices. ---Giordano Bruno, amazon.com
