Immerse yourself in the profound and moving world of sacred choral music with La Tempête's captivating album, "Scarlatti & Dvořák: Stabat Mater." Set for release on March 8, 2024, under the esteemed Alpha Classics label, this album is a testament to the ensemble's exceptional artistry and the timeless beauty of the Stabat Mater compositions.
Spanning a rich 93 minutes, this album brings together the works of two masterful composers, Alessandro Scarlatti and Antonín Dvořák. La Tempête, known for their nuanced interpretations and impeccable performances, breathes new life into these sacred pieces through their meticulous transcriptions for ensemble by Simon-Pierre Bestion.
The Stabat Mater sequence, a poignant meditation on the sorrow of the Virgin Mary at the crucifixion of Jesus, is presented in its full, haunting glory. From the opening "Prologue" to the final, resonant "Finale: Quando corpus morietur," each track is a journey through the depths of human emotion and spiritual reflection. Highlights include the stirring "Quis est homo, qui non fleret" and the deeply moving "Fac, ut ardeat cor meum," showcasing the ensemble's ability to convey both the grandeur and intimacy of these sacred texts.
La Tempête's rendition of these works is not just a performance but a profound exploration of the human condition, blending the rich traditions of choral music with a contemporary sensibility. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast of choral music or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a deeply rewarding listening experience.
