{"product_id":"battista-giovanni-pergolesi-collection-0028947784647","title":"Collection","description":"2010 celebrates the birth 300 years ago of a first rank composer Pergolesi. 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 – he died at 26 – Pergolesi created numerous deathless works This collection comprises three separate Pergolesi albums, Stabat Mater , Missa S. Emidio and Dixit Dominus which also include a number of others works, all directed by Claudio Abbado.  According to The Times: “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.” 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 to the choral passages. Abbado’s passion for this music meets these sacred compositions on the exalted level where they were composed The special edition includes a combined booklet containing all texts in Italian, additional images, and a Pergolesi timeline.  The Dixit Dominus , Salve Regina in A minor , Confitebor tibi , Domine , and Chi non ode e chi non vede are recorded live","brand":"Archiv Produktion (Universal Music)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53561970327894,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/battista-giovanni-pergolesi-collection-0028947784647","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
