Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's sacred masterpieces with this exquisite 2012 release from Capriccio. This album is a captivating journey through the composer's most revered works, showcasing his unparalleled ability to blend profound spirituality with musical genius.
At the heart of the album lies Pergolesi's iconic "Stabat Mater," a poignant setting of the Latin hymn that reflects on the sorrow of the Virgin Mary at the crucifixion of Jesus. Composed in the final weeks of Pergolesi's life, this work is a testament to his enduring legacy, featuring hauntingly beautiful duets for soprano and alto, accompanied by strings and continuo.
Complementing the "Stabat Mater" is the "Salve Regina," a series of devotional hymns that further illustrate Pergolesi's mastery of sacred music. The album also includes the chamber cantata "Orfeo," a dramatic and expressive work that highlights the composer's operatic flair.
Performances are led by an ensemble of distinguished musicians, including sopranos Regina Klepper and Martina Borst, who bring depth and sensitivity to Pergolesi's intricate compositions. The Bamberg String Quartet provides rich, resonant support, while Stefan Adelmann and Berthold Hops contribute on double bass, harpsichord, and organ, respectively.
With a total duration of approximately 65 minutes, this album offers a comprehensive exploration of Pergolesi's sacred repertoire, making it an essential addition to any classical music collection. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a newcomer to Pergolesi's music, this recording promises a deeply moving and enriching experience.
