Alessandro Scarlatti | Stabat Mater
Stabat Mater was composed by Alessandro Scarlatti in 1724 as one of his last works. From the Adagio at the beginning (shocking from the counterpoint and harmonics point of view) up to the final Amen, it is a compositional masterpiece, very varied and at the same time extremely profound piece.
On Good Friday, we bring you a recording of this composition, as it was performed at the St. Wenceslas Music Festival on September 25, 2020 in the Church of St. Jan Nepomucký in Ostrava – Staré Bělá.

Johann Sebastian Bach | St John Passion (Ich folge dir gleichfalls)
The B-flat major is often described as “joyful, magnificent, amusing, modest”, or as “clear conscience, merry love, and hope for a better world”. It is no wonder that Johann Sebastian Bach chose this key for a soprano (!) aria in which Simon Peter bravely follows the arrested Jesus to Caiaphas’ palace, but denies him three times before the rooster crows.
