Description
|
|
|
|
Bach reworked the three-part harmonies in his predecessor Pergolesi's Stabat Mater (a hymn about Mary standing at the foot of the cross). As Brian Robins writes in Fanfare, "Bach's counterpoint works to such spellbinding effect as to make Pergolesi's texture sound positively bare." This studio performance from 2000 was recorded in the Villa Medici Giulini, in Briosco. "Nancy Argenta and Guillemette Laurens are both in splendid voice, singing with a superb sense of line, natural ease, and spontaneity that complements entirely the dignified and unaffected visual pose adopted. It is a particular pleasure to find Argenta in such radiant voice … while Lauren's lustrous mezzo provides an admirable and beautifully balanced foil. Fasolis, who has demonstrated his Bach credentials on several previous occasions (including an excellent Mass in B Minor), directs with sensitivity and alertness, in the process drawing some finely articulated playing … from I Barocchisti. The sound is excellent."—Fanfare
