About This Song
About "Gloria, RV 589 : Vivaldi: Gloria, RV 589: X. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris" by Carolyn Watkinson
Vivaldi's 'Qui sedes' from the Gloria is a plea for intercession, and Watkinson delivers it with burnished gravity. The strings circle like incense smoke, while her mezzo—rich, controlled—navigates the aria's solemnity. There's no melodrama here, only a steady, luminous faith that feels almost tangible.
