Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful pieces in classical music. Like Mozart, he had so much poise and passion at such a young age (he composed this work in his mid 20's). I have heard several versions of Stabat Mater but my absolute favorite is the London Symphony Orchestra's (conducted by Claudio Abbado). Soprano Margaret Marshall and Contralto Lucia Valentini Terrani are both superb and angelic in this performance especially in the final track (Quando corpus morietur), which totally enraptures the listener. ---Angel Bebe, amazon.com
