What an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! The soloists are exceptional, the orchestral writing exquisite, and the performance is thrilling. One of the most evocative and powerful new masterworks, and a consummate addition to the Stabat Mater catalog. Your harmonic language is gripping and inventive, and I cannot express enough the deep connection to the text throughout. Bravo Fredrik. And thank you for your continued excellence and artistry. ❤
Ett fantastiskt verk som inrymmer så mycket, det tonala, atonala, melankoli, mystik, romantik och explosivitet. Och underbara sångare och musiker. Bravissimo👏🏼
What a fantastic work - Bravo Fredrik, and indeed the soloists, choir and orchestra. I love the harp too. I am sure this must become a showcase piece for all professional ensembles. 😍
The greatest music allows the listener to go into a different world - even with a familiar text. It is as if in this powerful work we know the devastated hearts of Mary - who stayed with the horror she was forced to witness, and also the disciples who couldn't bear the sight and fled. What an achievement! Congratulations!
Thanks a lot for this piece of music - beautiful and moving with a bright atmosphere, and a sophisticated musical language that I can recognise from your (also brilliant!) St John's Passion. Love it!
A magnificent composition with mysterious, fascinating modern harmonies and a remarkable performance by the singers, supported by a well-balanced orchestration that contributes to the work's mystical atmosphere. The scrolling of the score is an added bonus for a perfect understanding of the work. My compliments for your musical master piece.
