GIOVANNI BATTISTA PERGOLESI (1710-1736)

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


4. Quae moerebat et dolebat - Allegro [alto solo]

5. Quis est homo - Largo, Allegro [a due]

6. Vidit suum dulcem natum - A tempo giusto [canto solo]

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".

Pergolesi wrote some beautiful melodies. I love the way he manipulates the themes in this piece too.
