The High Italian Baroque's Greatest Sacred Choral Hits. First, Pergolesi's lovely Stabat Mater: maybe "lovely" is all it is — but it's really lovely. Then, Vivaldi's Gloria, a piece that radiates joy. The splendid Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment will be led by Jonathan Cohen — but for many the real draw here is the presence of the ravishing countertenor Iestyn Davies among the vocal soloists.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Let's stay in Italy and go to The Leopard at des Artistes for dinner.
