The choir of "S.Miguel da Maia" performing "Stabat Mater" by Estevão de Brito.
This is a recently formed amateur choir, whose repertoire has strong classical roots.
"Stabat Mater" is a well-known catholic hymn. It alludes to the grief and pain of Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, at the time of His Crucifixion. It is sang in Latin.
I don't like this performance. It doesn't have any feeling. they are simply not transmitting the excruciating pain of that mother watching her only son tortured and dying. It just sounds empty to me.
