Pergolesi and Stabat Mater seem to be an indivisible unity. In his very short life (1710-1736) Pergolesi enjoyed a limited success. But his universal posthumous fame, especially concerning the Stabat Mater, was unprecedented. Thus many of his instrumental works were (intentionally) wrongly attributed.
This set contains an intimate performance of the Stabat Mater and the lesser-known Salve Regina with soprano Angharad Gryffydd Jones and tenor Lawrence Zazzo. The instrumental ensemble is lead by organist Timothy Brown.
However Pergolesi did write some more great vocal, mainly sacred works. There are also some (secular) chamber cantatas, including a set of 4 printed and even reprinted shortly after the composer’s death. They have all been written in a rich and expressive style for soprano and accompaniment.
Alessandra Rossi De Simone sings the text lovingly and expressively. The at times sparse accompaniment is provided by the Ensemble Concerto.
