CLAUDIO ABBADO CONCLUDES HIS PERGOLESE CYCLE Here is Claudio Abbado's tribute to the genius of Pergolesi, whose 300th birthday we celebrate in 2010. Despite his premature death at 26, Pergolesi was one of the most influential composers of 18th century Italy and composed works that have marked the history of music. After the success of the essential Stabat Mater (released last August), Claudio Abbado invites us to discover rarer, yet equally sublime works. Pergolesi's sacred works resonate with deep emotion, alternating the very melodic passages of remarkable soloists (Rachel Harnisch, Sara Mingardo...) contrasting with the power of the passages sung by the choir.
