Antonio Vivaldi’s extensive oeuvre also includes a large repertoire of sacred vocal music, ranging from large-scale mass and vesper compositions to biblical oratorios and solo motets. The double-choir Kyrie in G minor RV 587, composed around the middle of the 1720s, belongs to a group of individual mass movements. The harmonically exposed opening part, a series of excitingly modulating chords that presumably goes back to a foreign model, lends the first "Kyrie" call a high intensity of expression. The "Christe" is performed by the female voices of both choirs; the final movement is an Allegro double fugue in a strict four-part movement with a short Adagio introduction.

Vivaldi, Antonio: Kyrie RV 587
Carus druckte das erste Kyrie auf 14 Seiten, Ricordi auf 16. Carus größeres Format ist bequem und deutlicher zu lesen, Ricordis klassischer Notensatz wirkt elegant, ist aber für meine Augen etwas zu klein. Ricordi hält konsequent ein ausgewogenes Notenbild, während Carus in manchen Takten, wie z.B. in den Takten 28-30 des ersten Satzes, auf dieses verzichtet. Aber natürlich die Wahl liegt bei Ihnen.
