Poulenc - Stabat Mater

Poulenc - Stabat Mater

Poulenc’s masterpiece is recorded in an unrivalled performance by the combined choirs of St John’s, Clare and Gonville & Caius Colleges, Cambridge, the BBC Philharmonic, conducted by Christopher Robinson, with soprano Judith Howarth. Like the Stabat Mater, the Litanies à la Vierge Noir is also inspired by the sacred shrine of the Black Virgin of Rocamadour, and is sung on this disc by the Choirs of Clare and Caius Colleges, who combine also for the Quatre Motets pour un temps de pénitence. Filmed in atmospheric and beautiful surroundings, this title is completed with extra features made from the inspiring locations of Rocamadour.
