Title: Scarlatti's masterpiece.
Review: When we think about the great choral works of classical music, the names we often repeat are Pergolesi, Bach, Mozart, maybe Beethoven and some others. But very rarely does Domenico Scarlatti, the profilic composer of several harpischord pieces, come along. This, in my opinion, is truly a shame, cause one of the greatest music he ever wrote, was choral music. And in this field, his crowning achievement was "Stabat Mater" for unacomppanied voices. It is a gem of a highest order. It has a beautiful structure, and it contains several immortal melodies. I myself put it right up to the greatest choral works ever written.Do yourself a favour and try it, if you love great choral music or beautiful music in general, you wont be disappointed. The perfomance of King's choir in this cd is solid and clear. Highest of recommendations!
