Alessandro Scarlatti (Palermo 1659 - Napoli 1725)
Stabat Mater (1716?)
Score: imslp.org/wiki/Stabat_Mater_(Scarlatti%2C_Alessandro)
Another sublime composition, which is basically a four-parts counterpoint between two violins and two voices, with a complex and visionary harmony, here in a wonderful and rare execution which corrects the misinterpretations that can be found in all the other recorded editions.
