About

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.

Regular performances in some of the world’s most prestigious venues have confirmed Florilegium’s status as one of Britain’s most outstanding period instrument ensembles. Since their formation in 1991 they have established a reputation for stylish and exciting interpretations, from intimate chamber works to large-scale orchestral and choral repertoire, frequently working with some of the world’s finest musicians. On this recording they work with Elin Manahan Thomas, fast becoming one of Britain’s leading young sopranos, and Robin Blaze, established in the front rank of countertenor interpreters of Purcell, Bach and Handel.

Reviews

July 2010

Both singers are intensely sensitive in the six descriptive and six pleadingly prayerful verses of the Stabat Mater. They have no inhibitions about Pergolesi's operatic roots...Blaze displays his wide and even vocal range in the Salve Regina, particularly effective in his lowest register

September 2010

[The Sinfonia in F] is a charming piece, which Jennifer Morsches plays with a fine mixture of elegance and gutsiness...The opening [of the Stabat Mater] is superb...Elin Manahan Thomas, Robin Blaze and Florilegium phrase it beautifully, bringing just the right amount of weight to tension and release...Excellent performances all round.
