That would be the indignant old music listeners, over a performance of Stabat Mater by Pergolesi in the throat of Anna Netrebko, this can be already in the booklet, a text executed in the style of the Boulevard read. Warwick Thompson is nevertheless aware, once the wind out of the sails to peddle to that sopranos thereby spurred runs in top form. Well, the stakes of Netrebko are mostly dirty. The lower central position and depth are very flat and expressionless. Your taste Mangaeyes as unfortunately usual, often something to be desired and access to religious specialist also does not seem here to have succeeded. Marianna Pizzolato it is expected there, but something is very bumpy even with her. A singing together hardly takes place in the duets. Pappano can also nothing new and it does not even help convincing. By way of example, this can be the final duet 'Quando corpus morietur' hearing. This paradise delivered thought music, and as beautiful it is composed, is already deprived of the first use of unclean Netrebko and its uncertain intonation of their effect. Here you do not get it the slightest idea, and everyone contribute what connects a believer in the hope to enter the kingdom of heaven.
There are excellent recordings of the Stabat Mater at Deutsche Grammophon. So why this? The whole presentation and the outcome of the panel cast doubt on the seriousness of this undertaking. This is further supported by the fact that it is obviously not considered necessary mitzugeben text of the Stabat Mater. For more insight into the interpretation of which could be verified on the basis of the text, probably not anticipated or desired by the listener. Should this be the star cult worshiped again?
The German Grammophon has already two excellent recordings, which clearly refers to this recording the rearmost seats. So who wants to hear full voices with this music, although not in the style of historical performance practice, the better to reach Recording with Freni and Berganza under Gracis. Or to receive under Claudio Abbado with Marshall and Valentini-Terrani. And who wants to enter Paradise with the angels in historical performance is recommended to Kirkby and Bowman recording under Hogwood.
This board is actually an embarrassment for the German Grammophon, but today, unfortunately, symptomatic.
