"This CD is well known in Europe and has consistently recieved rave reviews. The clarity of the recording, the quality of the voices and their balance give it a haunting quality. The whole recording is well paced and to the point, nothing unnecessary has been added allowing the music to stand on its own.This recording evokes an emotional response every time I listen to it. It is the perfect music for Sunday morning and such a pleasure to listen to. It is by far the best recording of the Stabat Mater I have ever heard and I highly recommend it."
Absolutely SUPERB

"Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful pieces in classical music. Like Mozart, he had so much poise and passion at such a young age (he composed this work in his mid 20's). I have heard several versions of Stabat Mater but my absolute favorite is the London Symphony Orchestra's (conducted by Claudio Abbado). Soprano Margaret Marshall and Contralto Lucia Valentini Terrani are both superb and angelic in this performance especially in the final track (Quando corpus morietur), which totally enraptures the listener."
Female voices, spirit and faith at highest delicacy.

"Some say is theatrical interpretation, if so, is at the highest degree of interpretation. I don't like opera music, but I like some oratorios and this is probably one of the most evocating if not the most.



I own this CD for over 6 years already, and I play it back again and again. And I still buy and give it away as a present for many friends and family.



Sound quality is OK, but I would kill for a good digital transfer remasterization.



One name: MARGARET MARSHALL...! femenine, spiritual, delicate, accurate, never corny: Supreme."
