The text of Stabat Mater Dolorosa, a hymn to the Virgin Mary, is attributed to Jacopo Todi (1230‐ 1306). It is a lamentation upon the tragic fate of Mary, bewailing the suffering and death of her son Jesus Christ at the cross. This outpouring of grief and loss is of universal human appeal and has inspired many composers throughout history, writing music of the most heart wrenching beauty.
This 14CD set is the most extensive collection of Stabat Maters ever collected, 23 in total. It includes the most famous Stabat Mater ever composed, that by Pergolesi, as well as by known and lesser composers from the Baroque well into the 20th century, closing with the moving Stabat Mater by Arvo Pärt.
Included are the original Stabat Mater text and liner notes written by Philip Borg‐Wheeler specially for this. A worthy successor to the Brilliant Classics REQUIEM collection (BC95104).

Stabat Mater by Palestrina, Pergolesi, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Rossini, Verdi, Boccherini, Steffani, Haydn, Schubert, Lachner, Dvořák, Szymanowski, Villiers,
