MESSA di G.B. Pergolesi
Messa in re maggiore e e mottettoni di G.B. Pergolesi

Pergolesi’s life has always had an aura of legend, due to the composer’s fame and intense activity and probably to his premature death at the age of 26. Renown throughout Europe for his modern pre-Romantic operas, Pergolesi also wrote marvellous sacred music (such as his Stabat Mater). The Ghislieri Choir & Consort perfoms his Mass in D and an unpublished motet dedicated to the Virgin (Dignas laudes resonemus) in a magnificent concert for double choir and orchestra.
