Seeking a specific Pergolesi's Stabat Mater recording

ripkirby

Hi everyone.

I have been tasked to find a specific recording of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater. The information I have about it is rather vague: apparently the lead vocal part is sung by a boy, and there should be percussions too in this particular version.

If anyone has any idea or can point me to a good search engine for the above title, it will be much appreciated. I tried plenty of google queries and major online cd stores with no luck.

Thanks,

Rip

"Lead vocal part"? I'm not sure if that piece has a "lead vocal part" ... but it does have a solo soprano and a solo alto part.

Just did a google search for Pergolesi Stabat Mater with "boy soprano" and found this:

Pergolesi - Stabat Mater / Hennig · Jacobs · Concerto Vocale · Jacobs [Import, Original Recording Reissued]

Having conducted this with strings....I cannot imagine a percussion part.

Check out the youtube library. If there is one with percussion it would be there....too odd-ball to be an audio recording.

Of course, with a decent jazz pianist and a hot bass player, drums might work. Brushes.

Yeah, it definitely doesn't contain a percussion part, not even timpani.

Maybe it's a "contemporary remake"?

How are you "percussed", frogman?

"Though they are a kind of musical clowns, their interpretation of the music comes close to being serious."

Obviously work part time as church musicians.

Maybe they did clown Masses, too.
