About

Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater is one of the miracles of eighteenth-century sacred music.

Experienced in performing both early and contemporary repertoire, Riccardo Minasi and the Hamburg musicians shed an astonishingly modern light on these moving pieces, in which the voices of Giulia Semenzato and Lucile Richardot intertwine sublimely.

The Stabat Mater is echoed by Joan Rossell’s poignant Salve Regina, long attributed to Pergolesi himself.

Reviews

Riccardo Minasi and Ensemble Resonanz use conventional instruments tuned to mean-tone temperament, period bowing, and the standard pairing of soprano (Giulia Semenzato) and mezzo (Lucile Richardot). ... At times almost shockingly intense, [Minasi’s] performance is rooted in an exacting realisation of the implications of the text, with its emphasis on physical suffering and spiritual ardour.  Tim Ashley
