This is the Stabat Mater in the Vivaldi masterworks Box...
Giordano Bruno | Wherever I am, I am. | 03/03/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"... and it's one of the outstanding performances in that mixed selection. Male contralto Sytse Buwalda has never sounded better; the range of the Stabat Mater suits his low register perfectly. The whole box is a fantastic buy, really, though there are some clinkers and some unfortunate non-inclusions.



I'm in the process of reviewing what i considered the best performances of the best Baroque settings of the Stabat Mater, and they are all sublime pinnacles of the repertoire, those by Vivaldi, A. Scarlatti, D. Scarlatti, Pergolesi, Caldara, and Boccherini. Take a look at my recent review of the Vivaldi Stabat Mater, sung by Andreas Scholl with Ensemble 415 for further information. That CD is my personal choice, though this recording by Buwalda and the Netherlands Bach Collegium is surprisingly powerful."
