Giovanni Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is considered one of the masterworks of the Italian Baroque period, its achingly beautiful phrases evoking the pain and anguish of the suffering and death of Christ. Set in this performance with sparse orchestration and paired with other works by contemporaries J.S. Bach and Vivaldi, we invite you to dwell in the beauty and power of these works from the heart of the Baroque.
