Notes and Editorial Reviews
Returning to the warmth of the female voice with which Vivaldi was familiar (the solo part, generally given to a countertenor, is here restored to the contralto voice), Sara Mingardo and Rinaldo Alessandrini plunge us into the strikingly theatrical atmosphere and the heart-rending tones of the Stabat Mater, a pathetic exaltation of the Virgin's grief at the foot of the Cross.
