Overview

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater is a profound sacred work that reflects the emotional depth of the Virgin Mary's suffering at the foot of the cross. This beautifully executed album features the stunning vocal performances of soprano Magda Kalmár and contralto Júlia Hamari, under the direction of conductor Lamberto Gardelli. The performance is brought to life by the Ladies of the Hungarian Radio and Television Chorus, accompanied by the Liszt Ferenc Chamber Orchestra. The rich tones of the vocals, coupled with the delicate orchestral arrangement, make this recording a powerful representation of Pergolesi's masterpiece.
