Stabat Mater' is a thirteenth century Roman Catholic sequence attributed to Jacopone da Todi. Its title is an abbreviation of the first line of the poem: 'Stabat mater dolorosa'. The hymn, one of the most powerful and immediate of extant medieval poems, meditates on the suffering of Mary during her son's crucifixion. It has been set to music by many composers, among them - Anton?¡n DvoY
?ík, whose highly symphonic version is performed here. Yvonne Kenny provides the soprano solos on this powerful recording of the poignant work. She has won great critical acclaim on previous discs; for instance 'Classic CD' have hailed her as \a heaven-sent Marschallin....... (boasting) just the right balance of maturity and attractiveness of tone". Kenny is joined by Eva Randov?í, Wieslav Ochmann, and Jan Galla, and conducted by Vaclav Neumann."
