Rene JacobsAbout
In principle this recording follows the Breitkopf edition. Its editor very kindly gave René Jacobs facsimiles, not only the individual parts from Kremsmünster (his principal source), but also those from Metten and Zurich. Pergolesi’s work, probably composed between 1730 and the year of his early death, 1736, was intended for an extra-liturgical devotion on Good Friday. This major discovery of the Neapolitan Baroque was given its concert premiere at the Beaune Festival in July 2012, a few days before this world premiere recording.
Rene Jacobs has received many distinctions from music critics, including Record of the Year from Gramophone for Mozart’s 'Le nozze di Figaro' in 2004. Classica magazine voted him ‘Artist of the year 2009’ for his recordings of Telemann’s 'Brockes-Passion', Mozart’s 'Idomeneo', and Haydn’s 'Die Schöpfung'.
More recently, his astonishing version of Mozart’s 'Die Zauberflöte' has been released to enthusiastic acclaim (CD des Jahres in Opernwelt, Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Choc de l’année 2010 in Classica, BBC Music Magazine Award).
Long a professor at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, René Jacobs has maintained a privileged relationship with this institution where he has trained many singers who now appear with him in the leading international venues.
