Overview

This 1997 Erato recording features a stirring rendition of Rossini's Stabat Mater, conducted by Claudio Scimone with I Solisti Veneti. Known for its deep emotional power and vocal richness, Rossini’s Stabat Mater combines operatic lyricism with sacred fervor. With contributions from a distinguished quartet of soloists, including soprano Cecilia Gasdia, mezzo-soprano Margarita Zimmermann, tenor Chris Merritt, and bass José Carcia, this performance captures both the dramatic intensity and the meditative beauty of Rossini's sacred masterpiece. The accompaniment by I Solisti Veneti further enhances the grandeur of this emotionally charged work.
