About

What happens when great composers arrange each other’s works? J S Bach gave Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater a new text and a new viola part, making a fresh piece that speaks both of Germany and Italy. Mozart gave string players the pleasure of playing fugues from the Well-tempered Clavier II. Fresh arrangements by The Bach Players complete the set of all the four-part fugues from this work.

"central to this beautifully put-together disc is Bach’s exquisite arrangement of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater. Bach sets to it a German version of Psalm 51, ‘Tilge Höchster meine Sünden’, which is sung here by soprano Rachel Elliott and alto Sally Bruce-Payne, sparring delicately over the velvet accompaniment of the full ensemble. Bach improves Pergolesi – and Mozart’s enclosing take is due homage.” - Classic FM , February 2009

The performance is a delight from start to finish... In short, no rival version that I have heard on disc, and there are several, matches this one. Well-judged tempos and an ideal recorded sound set the seal on a particularly satisfying issue. To hell with the credit crunch, go and buy it, at once.” - Nicholas Anderson, International Record Review
