Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater is one of the miracles of Eighteenth Century sacred music.
Experienced in performing both early and contemporary repertoire, Riccardo Minasi and the Hamburg musicians shed an astonishingly modern light on these moving pieces, in which the voices of Giulia Semenzato and Lucile Richardot intertwine sublimely.
The Stabat is echoed by Joan Rossell’s poignant Salve Regina, long attributed to Pergolesi himself.
