Info:
The most famous of all religious music
‘Knowing in advance that the music of this or that opera is by Pergolesi causes me to find it better than if I did not know the name of the composer. My soul is bidden to embroider’,’ Stendhal said. The last work of a composer who died at the age of 26, the masterpiece on this recording is by far the most famous setting of the Stabat Mater in musical history. This performance by René Jacobs and the boy soprano Sebastian Henning has become legendary.
