As a composer Pergolesi’s productive career began at the age of twenty, and by twenty-six (March 1736) he had died of tuberculosis. During his lifetime Pergolesi’s fame was restricted, in the main, to Rome and Naples, yet after his death, his reputation eclipsed most other composers in the second half of the eighteenth century. The whole of Europe developed an increasing curiosity for his compositions. His posthumous celebrity status was such a magnet in the music world that, hoping to reap large financial profits, publishers and opera directors alike attributed his name to hundreds of vocal and instrumental works by lesser-known composers. Following Pergolesi’s death the Stabat Mater became one of the most celebrated and frequently printed works of the 18th century.

“Paradises observed in awesome quietness before a dazzling Amen” The singers are intensely sensitive in the six descriptive and six pleadingly prayerful verses of the Stabat Mater. (…) this new disc matches the competition in vocal quality and excels in the clarity of Florilegium’s single strings. Above all, the spaciousness of its surround-sound recording is often breathtaking. Shut your eyes, and your room expands to he scale of the London church where it was recorded, bathing the sound in its glorious acoustic. (…) Ashley Solomon’s flute tone to create delightful transparency in this sunny concerto, while Jennifer Morches’s cello, is refreshing clear, unaffected, almost gamba-like. –BBC Music Magazine

Welsh soprano Elin Manahan Thomas has a lovely, clear, pleasingly bright tone and all the right stuff for Pergolesi’s most lyrical and lively lines; countertenor Robin Blaze never has sounded better, his timbre warmly resonant, his technique fluid and effortless, his intelligence and thoughtful interpretive manner on impressive display-and proving a perfect match for Thomas. And speaking of instruments, also to be commended are the Florilegium instrumental players, who include the group’s director, flutist Ashley Solomon, and cellist Jennifer Morsches, both of whom offer excellent additions to the program-the delightful (if doubtfully by Pergolesi!) Flute Concerto in G major and the (authentic) Sinfonia in F major for cello and continuo. (…) Highly recommended (even if you already have one or two others!). –Classics Today
