I have been lucky to hear the Gloria performed live as well as on many recordings by accomplished orchestras and choruses. This version has had the power to move me like no other before. Beyond the unexpectedly high level of accomplishment of these young musicians and their conductor, it is the angelic tonality of the chorus and the energy that it conveys that take the listener completely by surprise. It is no exaggeration to say that Antonio Vivaldi would have been moved by such a wonderful interpretation. Bravissimo!
I am so impressed and proud of these kids achievements. Great Job! Thank you, Mr. Driscoll for your dedication and guidance.
