Pergolesi Year 2010 marks the birth 300 years ago of a first rank composer and singular voice. Claudio Abbado’s affinity for Pergolesi is a joy to the ear and balm to the soul. The introductory album of maestro’s Pergolesi Project, the famous Stabat Mater, was rapturously received by the press
Characteristic are these comments in The Times: “Abbado’s commitment to period style is never in doubt . . . He has exceptional soloists: Rachel Harnisch and Sara Mingardo in the Stabat, ravishing in the harmonic suspensions of their duets; a lovely toned Julia Kleiter in the Salve; and the exemplary Giuliano Carmignola in the rarely recorded Violin Concerto, a little masterpiece, all but forgotten by the mainstream.”
For this third album of three, Abbado works once more with an excellent cast of singers including Rosa Bove, Rachel Harnisch, Julia Kleiter and Lucio Gallo.
