Congratulations for this powerful new choral work, Fredrik! Great music! <3

Belíssimo!!!

Hm, remarkable Fredrik.. The precision of these harmonies is not unlike a well-orchestrated witch hunt-each voice serving its purpose, no room for error. Even in song, the purity of order is evident. A most pleasing sound, free from heretical dissonance. I suppose not all forms of music are a waste of breath... though I remain ever suspicious.

So beautiful!

A beautiful masterpiece! Reminds me of old songs from Sweden: kulning. The soprano performs it very well.

Magnificent work!

Söndagen den 16 juni uruppfördes Fredrik Sixtens ”Stabat Mater” i Adolf Fredriks kyrka. Jag hade glädjen att sitta i kyrkbänken. Dirigenten Christoffer Holgersson hinner knappt slå in orkestern och kören förrän smärta och skönhet strömmar ur instrument och strupar. Solisterna Lovisa Huledal och Carl Unander-Scharin vittnar om och ger röst åt frälsarmoderns lidande. Tonsättaren rör sig som vanligt obekymrat mellan melodi och disharmoni. Det musikaliska hoppet står till harpan vars slingor får mig att lyfta blicken. I samma stund lyser solen in genom kyrkfönstret.

The greatest music allows the listener to go into a different world - even with a familiar text. It is as if in this powerful work we know the devastated hearts of Mary - who stayed with the horror she was forced to witness, and also the disciples who couldn't bear the sight and fled. What an achievement! Congratulations!

A fine performance. Kudos to the choir members and both the choir director and whoever supervised the recording. It was also good to see the SATB score while hearing the music. (Rah!)

grandiose! Congratulations Fredrik! Awesome composition and performance!

The music is so beautiful that it makes my heart feel warm, as if I have entered the Kingdom of God. I am deeply grateful to the composer.

Great music of a great composer! Impressive

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, my friend.

Great job; a real MASTERPIECE! Piero LTS

The Stabat Mater by Fredrik Sixten is a milestone in music history!

❤️❤️❤️

A magnificent composition with mysterious, fascinating modern harmonies and a remarkable performance by the singers, supported by a well-balanced orchestration that contributes to the work's mystical atmosphere. The scrolling of the score is an added bonus for a perfect understanding of the work. My compliments for your musical master piece.

Thanks a lot for this piece of music - beautiful and moving with a bright atmosphere, and a sophisticated musical language that I can recognise from your (also brilliant!) St John's Passion. Love it!

Absolutely magnificent Fredrik, BRAVO!!

A fine piece; deserves the widest possible audience.

Wonderful!❤

What a fantastic work - Bravo Fredrik, and indeed the soloists, choir and orchestra. I love the harp too. I am sure this must become a showcase piece for all professional ensembles. 😍

Vivid music, lyrical and beautifully orchestrated!

Great music performed by good musicians

What a great work from you dear Fredrik!!! Thanks for sharing this with all of us!!!

Riktigt bra, som alltid när Fredrik Sixten skriver.

An excellent performance of a really great piece of music. Congratulations to the composer and the performers.

Incredible beautiful piece Fredrik! The first alto solo O Quam tristis and the Amen gave me goosebumbs =) Mvh Mattias Olsson

Powerful! A great pice of music! Congratulations 🎉 Mäktigt ! Fantastiskt!

Another triumph. Such amazing music!

Ett fantastiskt verk som inrymmer så mycket, det tonala, atonala, melankoli, mystik, romantik och explosivitet. Och underbara sångare och musiker. Bravissimo👏🏼

Mycket bra kombination av modernitet och klassiska harmonier👏🏻👏🏻 Vackert!

Fantastisk musik och solister.

Makalöst vackert!

What an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! The soloists are exceptional, the orchestral writing exquisite, and the performance is thrilling. One of the most evocative and powerful new masterworks, and a consummate addition to the Stabat Mater catalog. Your harmonic language is gripping and inventive, and I cannot express enough the deep connection to the text throughout. Bravo Fredrik. And thank you for your continued excellence and artistry. ❤

WOW!

How did I miss this coming out? Good job Fredrik Sixten!

Pretty much the only carol I have ever actually enjoyed singing. Those crunchy chords are unbelievably beautiful.

WOW!

This is great.

The final chord is interesting.

Great!

Wonderful arrangement!

absolutt vakker og til ettertanke.

Underbart vackert!!!

Roligt att hitta inspelningen här! :) /Sofia Vokalensemble

Love love looooooooooove <3

Good setting.

Get setting.

Thanks for sharing! I really liked it a lot. Those who think romantic, expressive yet direct music is dead are completely lost in a world of ideas; I think that is the problem of over-philosophizing some things like music. However, experimentation with sound is good. I think that music is becoming a science, if it has not always being one. Nonetheless, like in any science, there are those who dedicate to theory (which could be those composing avant-garde pieces) and those who vow themselves to apply it (those who apply sound experiments into "user-friendly" works). Thanks for putting this into my channel and thanks for watching my cultural diffusion space!
