GIOVANNI BATTISTA PERGOLESI (1710-1736)

"Stabat Mater" for soprano, alto, strings and basso continuo in F minor (original version)


12. Quando corpus morietur - Largo assai, Presto assai [a due]

Performed by Concerto Italiano
Featuring Gemma Bertagnolli, soprano
Sara Mingardo, contralto
Conducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini

*Pergolesi was commisioned in 1734 by the Cavalieri della Vergine dei Dolori to write a new Stabat Mater to replace the now unfashionable one written by Alessandro Scarlatti for the Cavalieri. Pergolesi finished it only a few days before his death. The Stabat Mater became famous throughout Europe and became a symbol of the perfection and universality of the Italian style. Bach even paid homage to it in his motet "Tilge, Hochster, meine Sunden".

  • When I listen Sara at the first time it was love at first sight. And Rinaldo take all of the rare talent of such strong and emotional voice. Ah Mingardo!!!

  • Yes, I first heard her voice when she sang the Vivaldi Stabat Mater. Absolutely heavenly.

  • This is it! This is leaps and bounds beyond any other version I have ever heard. The contrast between the "Quando corpus morietur" and the Amen is powerful. Slow utter despair, turning into a furious rage.

    The one player to each part really helps create a strong feeling of intimacy. Really emotional.

    This is the best!
