Scarlatti: Stabat Mater - Missa Quatuor vocum (Madrid Mass) by Ensemble Jacques Moderne, Joël Suhubiette - VitaMusik

ALBUM

It may seem hard to believe that the brilliantly progressive keyboard music of Domenico Scarlatti and the almost Renaissance-style (the term of the time was stile antico) polyphony heard here were written by the same composer. But listen again, and these pieces begin to appear as new facets of the same diamond. The Stabat Mater is not an exercise in Renaissance polyphony but an entirely original adaptation of it to a new time, every bit as much as Bach's fugues but in a different way. Its ten voices are not divided into two groups in the manner of the late Renaissance but are instead independent entities that carry on a variety of interlocking conversations and are capable of tonal diversions and dramatic expression of the hymn's implacable three-line stanzas depicting Mary standing at the feet of the crucified Christ. It is not known exactly when or for whom the work was composed, and even opponents of the one-voice-per-part procedure are likely to agree that it clarifies the uniquely complex textures of this work. A light harpsichord accompaniment also seems to help hold together a beautifully expressive reading. The rarely heard four-voice work known as the Madrid Mass (although its origins too are unknown) comes much closer to the pure Renaissance style, and here Ensemble Jacques Moderne director Joël Suhubiette assigns two perfectly blended voices to each part. The program is rounded out by a short motet and a Te Deum that shows Scarlatti's mastery of the dual-choir style (this work is accompanied by an organ), and everything is expressively performed and beautifully recorded. A highly recommended point of entry into the still underappreciated world of stile antico choral music of the 18th century, and a must for Scarlatti lovers.
