Stabat Mater van Pergolesi
The grief of the mother inspired the Italian masters Vivaldi, Pergolesi, and Boccherini to compose a Stabat Mater. It is a cycle of hymns about Mary, weeping beneath the cross of her dying son. The Latin text is by the monk Jacopone da Todi and is named after its opening words Stabat Mater Dolorosa (“The mother stood in sorrow”).

Stabat Mater – Pergolesi
Giovanni Pergolesi (1710–1736) was in fragile health. When, at the age of 26, he felt his end approaching, he composed his most famous work: Stabat Mater. The piece is full of emotion yet ends joyfully with Paradisi Gloria (“the glory of Paradise”).
Stabat Mater – Vivaldi
The Stabat Mater by Venetian-born Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741) is a chamber cantata for alto, string orchestra, and organ from 1712. It is considered one of the most important compositions in Italian sacred music of the 18th century.
Stabat Mater – Boccherini
Luigi Boccherini’s (1743–1805) Stabat Mater was written for solo soprano and string quintet. Its transparent and intimate character, combined with beautiful vocal lines, is a perfect match for the ethereal soprano voice of Olga Zinovieva. A little-known gem of Baroque music that will undoubtedly move you.
