Le Caravanserail & Bertrand Cuiller Scarlatti: Stabat Mater CD

A model of daring harmonic and contrapuntal treatment, Domenico Scarlatti's extraordinary Stabat Mater is one of the very few surviving examples of his music for the church. To place this unique masterpiece in context, Bertrand Cuiller and members of Le Caravans?rail invite us to sample the composer's unjustly neglected contribution to the genre of opera and secular cantata, tracing a fascinating itinerary that leads from Naples to Rome and on to Madrid.
