Pergolesi - Stabat Mater

It is the work of a genius who died at the age of 26: Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is one of the wonders of sacred music of the 18th century. Riccardo Minasi and the musicians from Hamburg draw on their experience as "resonators" for the old as well as for the new repertoire and reveal the astonishing modernity of this moving work; the voices of Giulia Semenzato and Lucile Richardot come together in the most sublime way. The aftertaste is the poignant Salve Regina by Joan Rossell, long attributed to Pergolesi.
