Stabat Mater door Pergolesi
Stabat Mater door Pergolesi is a performance of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's famous sacred work from 1736, which sets to music the medieval Latin hymn depicting Mary's sorrow at the crucifixion of Jesus. This emotionally powerful piece, written shortly before the composer's death at age 26, is typically performed by two solo vocalists accompanied by strings and continuo.
