Setting a text that depicts the most tragic event of Christ’s life, Haydn manages to find a balance between dramatic pathos and expression and a more composed, distanced portrayal, fitting his Classical aesthetic orientation.\r\n\r\nInitially composed in 1767, this recording employs a 1803 edition with enlarged wind orchestration created with the help of Haydn’s apprentice Sigismund Neukomm, which makes the work even more dramatic and colorful. Jacobs and his players and singers display a great sense of style and drama in this remarkable rendition.\r\n\r\nMultiple prize-winning conductor René Jacobs is one of the most important representatives of the historically-informed performance practice. Haydn’s Stabat Mater is his fifth Pentatone album, after a complete Schubert symphonies cycle released between 2018 and 2021.\r\n\r\nThe Kammerorchester Basel, Zürcher Sing-Akademie, Birgitte Christensen, Kristina Hammarström, Steve Davislim and Christian Immler all make their Pentatone debut.  \u003cspan id=\"page190R_mcid1066\" class=\"markedContent\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eSpecial thanks to Joseph Haydn Stiftung Basel, Freundeskreis Kammerorchester Basel and Clariantfoundation for the generous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"page190R_mcid1067\" class=\"markedContent\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003esupport of the album production. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBirgitte Christensen, Soprano \u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKristina Hammarström, Alto\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteve Davislim, Tenor \u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eChristian Immler, Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eZürcher Sing-Akademie\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlorian Helgath, Choirmaster\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKammerorchester Basel\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRené Jacobs, Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739684909380,"sku":"PTC5186953-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739684942148,"sku":"PTC5186953-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739684974916,"sku":"PTC5186953-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739685007684,"sku":"PTC5186953-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739685040452,"sku":"PTC5186953-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739685073220,"sku":"PTC5186953-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739685105988,"sku":"PTC5186953-36","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739685138756,"sku":"PTC5186953-39","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739685171524,"sku":"PTC5186953-40","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739685204292,"sku":"PTC5186953-41","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739685237060,"sku":"PTC5186953-43","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739685269828,"sku":"PTC5186953-44","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339179958596,"sku":"PTC5186953-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57339179991364,"sku":"PTC5186953S1443","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57339180024132,"sku":"PTC5186953S1543","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57339180056900,"sku":"PTC5186953S1639","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/PTC5186953.jpg?v=1778489844","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/ptc5186953-haydn-stabat-mater","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
