Valery Gergiev conducts the LSO in Brahms' Requiem and Szymanowski's Stabat Mater. Stabat Mater

Description

Stabat Mater, featuring soprano Sally Matthews, mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova, bass-baritone Kostas Smoriginas, and the London Symphony Chorus, an austere, brooding work that stands in stark relief between the more colorful symphonies. These live audiophile recordings do credit to Szymanowski and his intensely wrought scores, and make a compelling case for including these neglected works in the standard repertoire.
