Antonín Dvorák's impressive "Stabat Mater" for soloists, choir and orchestra is probably the best known of the composer's sacred works. Dvorák's own painful experiences - his first daughter died in 1875 and he lost two more children in quick succession in 1877 - are likely to have contributed to his preoccupation with the suffering of the Mother of God, who stands weeping beneath the cross of her son. The music responds to the different moods of the liturgical text with great sensitivity. Nine movements in a slow to moderate tempo serve as a kind of Passion meditation before the ecstasy of a resurrection vision gains the upper hand at the end of the tenth movement. / Thanks to the arrangement for chamber orchestra (arr. J. Linckelmann Carus 27.293/50), it is also possible to perform the work on a smaller scale.
