Johann Sebastian Bach, no less, was sufficiently enamored of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater

A wonderful and explosive recording!
Have been waiting a long time for a performance to match the ancient Harnoncourt recording (see above) from the 60's... this is it.
Wonderful accoustic. Spectacular, grand music with playing to match

It sure would be impressive to see a video of the performers playing that!
