More Details on Pergolesi - Messa di San Emidio, etc
Had Pergolesi not died young, his name would rank among the most stellar and influential of Italy’s 18th-century composers. Despite the brevity of his life, however (he died at 26), Pergolesi created numerous immortal works.
In this second album of Claudio Abbado’s Pergolesi Project, the renowned maestro conducts the Missa S. Emidio, Manca la guida al pie, Laudate pueri Dominum and the Salve Regina in F minor. Abbado’s passion for this music meets these sacred compositions on the exalted level where they were composed.
Pergolesi’s church music is distinguished not just by lively declamation of the text but by the melodic charm of the solo sections, which contrast richly with the choral passages.
This album showcases the talents of such singers as Rachel Harnisch, Sara Mingardo, Veronica Cangemi and Teresa Romano, who bring exceptional vocal and interpretive gifts to this deceptively simple repertoire.
The previous Stabat Mater album got excellent reviews in the international press: “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.” - The Times
