A royal treat: Samuel Mariño and Filippo Mineccia sing Pergolesi and Vivaldi
The pictorial, highly emotional language of the Stabat mater has inspired composers throughout the ages to special achievements. In the 18th century, two Italian composers, Antonio Vivaldi and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, created settings that are now among the best known and most popular of all. Despite some similarities in terms of key and scoring, the history of the two works could not be more different.
