description

The fascinating poetic text of the medieval sequence, Stabat Mater, widely attributed to the Italian lawyer and Franciscan monk Jacopo de Benedetti (1230 - 1306), has inspired an endless list of composers to create some of their finest works. For his part, Antonin Dvorak (1841 - 1904), who had lost two children in the late summer of 1877, transformed the immense pain of that tragic experience into his own setting of the famous Latin text, producing one of his best-loved compositions. This stereo recording of Dvorak´s Stabat Mater, with Vaclav Smetacek conducting the Czech Philharmonic and featuring a major cast of soloists, was last issued at the time of its making (1962) - and yet, its sonic brilliance and artistic accomplishment alike have detracted nothing from its potential as an unfailingly enriching contribution to Supraphon´s collection of recordings of this treasure of Czech sacred music.
