The Dresdner Philharmonie and Marek Janowski present a recording of Antonín Dvořák’s Stabat Mater, together with the MDR Leipzig Radio Choir, Hanna-Elisabeth Müller (soprano), Roxana Constantinescu (mezzo-soprano), Christian Elsner (tenor) and Tareq Nazmi (bass). In terms of scope and duration, Dvořák’s Stabat Mater is the largest setting of this sacred text to date. Likely inspired by the tragic death of all his three children in the timespan of just two years. The work is heartrending, yet establishes a gradual path from darkness to light, from despair to peace and hope; ascetic and restrained, yet full of suspense. This recording, made in connection to a live performance commemorating the bombing of Dresden, offers a rendition that never drags, avoids excessive sentimentality, and is all the more moving as a result.

Rushton Paul

Whether one is a person of faith or not, this music has emotional impact at a very human level—the suffering of a mother on the death of her child...Powerful is this—no matter what one's faith or cultural background. Yes, additional verses delve deeply into the Christian mysteries of faith, but there is such an utterly human element to the suffering described, and the longing expressed, that I think we can all feel this. And the music Dvorák crafts to carry this emotional content is as powerful and moving as any in our Western musical tradition.

This performance by Marek Janowski and his excellent compatriots does full justice to the work. The chorus is full-throated and articulate, the soloists are strong, in good voice, with great emotional range, and the orchestra is fluid in meeting every demand Janowski places upon them. As a live performance, this recording has a certain "electricity of the moment" that is hard to duplicate without an audience present. There is a palpable frisson in the air.
