Paisiello, Giovanni: Stabat Mater del Pergolese (Piano reduction and Voices)
Coll’aggiunta de’ Stromenti da fiato
In 1810 Giovanni Paisiello (Taranto 1740 - Naples 1816) published and performed on September 16th in Naples’ Cathedral his transcription of the Stabat Mater by Pergolesi.
For our generation, raised in the respect of the original text – a due respect given the many inappropriate and misleading additions piled up in centuries – the listening of this transcription offers us a great opportunity for enjoying Pergolesi’s masterpiece in a different perspective.
