About the album

‘These girls are educated at the expense of the state to distinguish themselves in music. They sing like angels and play violin, flute, harpsichord, organ, oboe, cello and bas-soon; in short, no instrument can deter them, however big it may be.’ That is what French humanist and historian Charles de Brosses wrote in1739 about the girls who received their schooling in the Venetian orphanages which he visited. In one of these institutions, the Os-pedale della Pietà, Antonio Vivaldi worked as ‘maestro di violino’ and ‘maestro di concerti’ from 1703 to 1709, 1711 to 1717, 1723 to 1729 and 1735 to 1740. One of his tasks was ‘to pro-vide concertos for our girls and compositions for all types of instrument’.

Diese Mädchen werden auf Kosten des Staates ausgebildet, um sich in der Musik zu profilieren. Sie singen wie Engel und spielen Geige, Flöte, Cembalo, Orgel, Oboe, Cello und Fagott; kurz gesagt, kein Instrument kann sie abschrecken, so groß es auch sein mag. Das ist es, was der französische Humanist und Historiker Charles de Brosses 1739 über die Mädchen schrieb, die ihre Schulausbildung in den von ihm besuchten venezianischen Waisenhäusern erhielten. In einer dieser Institutionen, dem Os-pedale della Pietà, arbeitete Antonio Vivaldi von 1703 bis 1709, 1711 bis 1717, 1723 bis 1729 und 1735 bis 1740 als "Maestro di violino" und "Maestro di concerti". Eine seiner Aufgaben war es, "Konzerte für unsere Mädchen und Kompositionen für alle Arten von Instrumenten zu liefern".

Collegium Instrumentale Brugense

From its earliest days in 1970 the Collegium Instrumentale Brugense has shown itself to be a coherent group of musicians who, under the leadership of Patrick Peire, reach the core of each composition’s stylistic character. Today the ensemble is one of the most valued chamber orchestras in Belgium and has become firmly established on European concert platforms. Whilst striving for stylistic authenticity, the mu-sicians use modern instruments – a conscious choice which widens their possibilities of reper-toire and also allows them to achieve satisfactory results in halls where the acoustics are less than perfect.

Patrick Peire (conductor)

Besides studying at the Royal Conservatoires of Ghent and Brussels, where he graduated in harmony, flute, recorder, chamber music and history of music, Patrick Peire also graduated in psychology at Ghent University, specializing in music psychology and musicology. He con-tinued with post-graduate studies in early music and historic performance practice in Cologne and The Hague. As an instrumentalist he has performed with renowned chamber music en-sembles in Belgium and in many other countries. In 1970 he founded the Collegium Instrumen-tale Brugense and has been its chief conduc-tor since. He also became director of the West Flemish Vocal Ensemble and with his new vocal ensemble Capella Brugensis he now strives for utmost perfection.

Antonio Vivaldi

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was an Italian Baroque composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher and cleric. Born in Venice, he is recognised as one of the greatest Baroque composers, and his influence during his lifetime was widespread across Europe. He composed many instrumental concertos, for the violin and a variety of other instruments, as well as sacred choral works and more than forty operas. His best-known work is a series of violin concertos known as The Four Seasons. Many of his compositions were written for the female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children where Vivaldi (who had been ordained as a Catholic priest) was employed from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740.

His best-known work is a series of violin concertos known as The Four Seasons.
Many of his compositions were written for the female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children where Vivaldi (who had been ordained as a Catholic priest) was employed from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. Vivaldi also had some success with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua and Vienna. After meeting the Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for preferment. However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died less than a year later in poverty.
