Description:
After his early departure from the opera stage in 1829, Gioachino Rossini only composed larger-scale sacred music in addition to chamber music. This included the "Stabat Mater", which was composed in two phases between 1831 and 1841 and premiered in Paris in 1842. The text captures Mary's pain in the face of the Crucified in a prayer. The vivid language of the Latin poem, which probably dates back to the 13th century, has repeatedly inspired composers to set it to music, including great names such as Pergolesi, Joseph Haydn and Verdi. In 10 numbers, Rossini combines different forms such as aria, duet, quartet and choir, operatic arioso writing and strict a cappella style to create one of the highlights of this genre. / Thanks to the arrangement for chamber orchestra (arr. J. Linckelmann Carus 70.089/50), it is also possible to perform the work on a smaller scale.
