Product Name : Stabat Mater/Salve Regina
Certainly the sombre beauty of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater for soprano, alto, and strings has a lot to do with its popularity. But it must be said that the story of the 26-year-old composer completing the work on his deathbed has always been too romantic for the public--or the music business--to resist. "The instant his death was known," wrote the famous 18th-century traveller Dr Burney, "all Italy manifested an eager desire to hear and possess his productions." And so it's been everLe Stabat Mater est à l'origine un poème de la fin du XIIIe siècle décrivant la douleur de la Vierge Marie. Son auteur est un frère franciscain nommé Jacopone da Todi. Ce texte ne fit son apparition dans la liturgie catholique qu'en 1727, par le biais du missel et du bréviaire romain. Cependant, le contenu élégiaque et dramatique du Stabat Mater inspira de nombreux compositeurs pour des oeuvres destinées à des dévotions privées ou des concerts spirituels.

Product Review : Stabat Mater/Salve Regina
| This review is from: Stabat Mater/Salve Regina (Audio CD) C'est une musique d'une grande intériorité qui viens nous chercher avec la superbe interprétation de Barbara Bonney et d'Andrea Scholl. By MOVIE MAVEN (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Stabat Mater/Salve Regina (Audio CD) When I bought this CD, I did so for the voices of soprano, Barbara Bonney and countertenor, Andreas Scholl. Giovanni Pergolesi was really only a name in a music history book. I knew he was Italian and that he lived sometime in the 18th century. I had no idea, for instance, that of all notable composers, his was the shortest life: at 26 he died 9 years younger than Mozart and 5 years younger than Schubert. I also knew some bits and pieces of his most famous work, the opera LA SERVA PADRONA.I was not at all prepared for the truly astoundingly beautiful, somber, medatative, moving STABAT MATER. This is really wonderful music. The performance here, with period instruments under Christophe Rousset, is first rate. Bonney and Scholl sing beautifully together and in their solos. It is a dramatic performance worth owning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. By This review is from: Stabat Mater/Salve Regina (Audio CD) I was not familiar with the works of G.B. Pergolesi until I saw the Québécois film �Jésus de Montréal,� which used a portion of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater (Quando Corpus Morietur) in the film. I am completely devoted to Andreas Scholl's gorgeous voice, and own almost all of his solo recordings and several of his ensemble works. I had previously purchased Scholl's recording of Vivaldi's Stabat Mater and was interested to hear another interpretation of the Stabat Mater by yet another Baroque Italian composer. Next to Matthäuspassion by Bach, this has become my favourite Baroque religious work. Since purchasing this version of Stabat Mater, I have also bought the June Anderson/Cecilia Bartoli version and the Sara Mingardo/Gemma Bertagnolli version for comparison, but this is still my favourite and will remain so. Andreas Scholl is able to truly convey a sense of passionate melancholy and a adds a touch of the divine to this listening experience. |
