Overview

Gioachino Rossini’s Stabat Mater is one of the composer’s most profound sacred works, blending emotional depth and operatic richness. This recording, featuring a stellar cast of soloists including Carol Vaness (soprano), Cecilia Bartoli (mezzo-soprano), Francisco Araiza (tenor), and Ferruccio Furlanetto (bass), is conducted by Semyon Bychkov with the Chor und Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. The performance captures the intense spirituality of the work, while also showcasing Rossini’s trademark dramatic flair, moving from the sorrowful and contemplative to the triumphant and uplifting. The choir and orchestra offer a resonant, full-bodied accompaniment that complements the soloists beautifully.
