"High artistry" - Hi-Fi News & Record Review
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, said the French novelist Stendhal. The last work from the pen of Pergolesi (who died at the age of 26), the masterpiece on this recording is by far the most famous musical setting of the Stabat Mater text. This performance by René Jacobs and the boy soprano Sebastian Hennig has become legendary.
