This has to be *the* archetypical performance of this piece - very conservative and competent execution of what comes to us intact, and utterly tasteful rendition of what is left to be interpreted. If Pergolesi could hear this, I’d like to think that he would be profoundly humbled and gratified.
This is FANTASTIC. It makes me remember my childhood, singing in a church choir. My daughter loves it too. We were just discussing what music will live forever. This definitely will!
I'm not really in classical music, but I return regulary to watch this video. Over and over again I'm fascinated and touched by this wonderful performance.
Because of my fascination for this piece, I am now learning Latin through self-study. I am using Duolingo, and next will be delving into organized Latin grammar and syntax rules, plus vocabulary. Thank you Voices of Music!

O quam tristis et afflícta .... around min 7 , such sorrow in the music! it is as if we could be there and hear the Mother weeping for her lost Son. so very touching, so moving !
Wow. For a rather impromptu-looking ensemble in a rather non-concert-looking venue, the preparation, performance, lighting, acoustics, and recording are all excellent. They bring out all the inherent spookiness of this rather dark and frightening piece of music. I've heard this on radio many times over the years but until today I didn't know what it was. Pergolesi. Interesting. According to Wikipedia he wrote this at age 26 and died a few weeks later. Sad end to an obviously great composer.
An especially beautiful and moving performance.Your performances consistently serve as a standard of excellence. Thanks for sharing such rare and refined gifts with the world.
Stabat mater dolorosa significa "A mãe permaneceu cheia de tristeza". O hino chamado de Dolorosa, um dos mais pungentes e diretos poemas medievais, medita sobre o sofrimento de Maria, a mãe de Jesus, durante a crucificação. Ele é cantado em honra à Nossa Senhora das Dores. O Dolorosa já recebeu diversas composições musicais por diversos artistas, principalmente Palestrina, Pergolesi, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Haydn, Rossini e Dvořák.
An extraordinary work performed by an extraordinary ensemble. Truly beautiful! Thank you for posting. One of these days I'll get across the Bay to see you in person!
Outstanding casting of two very talented and unique voices. Brava! This was extremely enjoyable. Such a beautifully recorded technically piece ,also. Nice ornamentation...... BRIAN
I've just become acquainted with your music. Thank you for such exquisite offerings. The clarity of sharing between soloists and ripieno is awesome. Noting your performing space as being a sanctuary, have you ever performed in the spaces of Santa Fe, New Mexico? You will sound great in the St. Francis Cathedral, as well as the smaller Sanctuario de Guadalupe.Please, keep giving us the Heaven-sent sounds.Paul Rath
