La Senna festeggiante is Vivaldi's grandest vocal work. With rich orchestral invention and powerful vocal lines Vivaldi depicts three allegorical characters representing the Golden Age, Virtue, and the river god of the Seine who make a triumphant progress to the palace of Versailles where they sing the praises of King Louis XV and predict a glorious future.
From St John's Smith Square, London. Presented by Simon Heighes.
