Stabat Mater

by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi

Stabat Mater cover art

This critically acclaimed 1985 interpretation, featuring countertenor René Jacobs, offers a profound and historically informed performance of the 1736 Marian hymn. The recording captures the solemn, aching polyphony and delicate string arrangements that define Pergolesi's celebrated final masterwork. Harmonia Mundi's pristine acoustic presentation solidified this specific version as a definitive modern reference point for the baroque choral tragedy.
