The Italian composer Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) wrote one of the best-known versions of Stabat Mater, for four soloists (soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and bass), a choir, and an orchestra. This 13th-century work, attributed to Pope Innocent III and the Franciscan Jacopone da Todi, recounts the suffering of Mary and Mary Magdalene at the time of Jesus' crucifixion.
The Orquestra Acadèmia 1830, directed by Fernando Marina, and the Cor del Teatre Principal de Palma, directed by Francesc Bonnín, offer this version of Stabat Mater so closely linked to Spain, since it was commissioned by King Fernando VII during Rossini's visit in February 1831 to Madrid to direct the representation of El Barbero de Sevilla.
Inma Hidalgo (soprano), Begoña Gómez (mezzo-soprano), Antoni Aragón (tenor) and Joan Miquel Muñoz (baritone) take part as soloists. Corresponding pianist: Marc Laliga.
