    5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-01-04

    This recording include pieces, all of which are in honour of the Virgin Mary, and therefore share an undoubted Roman Catholic identity. They are also a reflection and echo of Western polyphony ,as well as a source of spiritual beauty and emotion.
    The largest composition on the disc is the 'Stabat Mater' by Scarlatti, composed at Rome around 1715. It is in a contrapuntal style, the sequence of which refers to the Neopolitan custom, where the ceremonies of Holy Week were an excuse for liturgical scenic productions. It is scored for four sopranos,two altos, two tenors, two basses and organ continuo. The music is frequently lyrical and mature in manner, and also highly melodic, astonishingly modern and has harmony whose 'richness and beauty remind one of Mozart's last religious composition.
    Carlo Gesualdo in his 'Ave Dulcissima Maria' uses a grand five-part style in this 'cantione sacra'.
    Francesco Cavalli, a desciple of Monteverdi,stays faithful in his 'Salve Regina' to the fourpart style with basso continuo. The concerns of the dramatist(Cavalli was above all known as a composer of operas)emerge through the homophonic mode of his writing. The repetitive effects are almost like a litany.
    Jacques Clement in his 5 part motet 'O Maria, Vernans Rosa' imposes his skill in an imitative style resembling that of Palestrina. But the breadth of his sonorities suggests Lassus and his followers.
    John Eliot Gardiner, along with the soloists and the Monteverdi Choir, have produced a remarkable recording!!! The singing is 'perfecto' and the soloists are skilled in every way. I particularly liked the 2 countertenors : Michael Chance and Ashley Stafford. Chance has flawless diction and his own amazing 'golden' sound. All early music lovers should enjoy this disc. By the way, it was recorded in 1984!!!!!

    I first heard this recording of the Scarlatti Stabat Mater late one evening on KUHF in Houston. It was nearly as thrilling an experience as discovering Handel's Dixit Dominus. Here is genuinely thrilling Baroque choral music whose drama and skill inform the listener, in amazingly few notes, why Alessandro Scarlatti was THE man to beat in the Baroque opera biz of his day. I bought the record album immediately. The 'frosting on the cake,' so to speak, was the Gesualdo Ave Dulcissima Maria. People interested in choral music of this period have heard their fill of performances of Gesualdo, performances intended to shock through the weirdness of his harmonic vocabulary. John Eliot Gardiner and the Monteverdi Choir have come along and performed Gesualdo in a way that makes his chromatic harmonies the logical servants of the texts he is heightening -- not weirdness for weirdness's sake. This short performance is absolutely breathtaking. Let's hope Erato discovers, some time soon, what a prize they have in this recording and re-issue it on CD. I'm there!
