Antonín Dvořák - Stabat Mater (Harnoncourt)

[@MegaCirse]

I rarely comment on videos, this is no joke, after listening to this through headphones in bed I got the first decent night of sleep in weeks. So much stress was built up in my mind that I found it difficult to function in the day-to-day routines. It saved me from several visits to a psychotherapist.

+Hernan Revello wonderful composer--I turn to him for comfort and joy.

[@annehopland3601]

I have sung this masterpiece with my former choir Bergen Oratoriekor. There are segments in this work (particularly "Eia Mater Fons Amoris") that was impossible to get through, or sit and listen to, without someone among the sopranos or altos suddenly braking down in tears. It is all about the heartbreak of Mary as she watches her son suffer and die on the cross. The lamentation is audible throughout this profound musical work. Any mother would feel the endless despair and pain. It is deeply moving and profound. So heartwrenchingly mournful. And yet so unbelievably beautiful at the same time. Antonín Dvořák is genuinely one of mye favorite composers.

[@michaelmyers3205]

yes I've thought so too. It always makes me feel emotional. That's touching to know that choir members, despite having to be so acquainted with this work, still feel its power. Thanks for sharing

[@frandsenphilip1]

Dvorak was an amazing composer.

[@felipedej.cervera6514]

What a masterpiece! I have never understood who deserves the most sincere ovation: the conductor/orchestra&choir -for a magnificent performance-; the composer -who seems took dictation from heaven- or his father, who saw the spirit of his son and provided an education. Considering that family business traditionally goes from fathers to sons, František Dvořák deserves an eternal ovation. He lost a helping hand; but the world gained Dvořák. I am in tears.

[@phwbooth]

Beautiful melody + marvellous orchestration = Antonín Dvořák

[@RedcoatsReturn]

The painting...the old woman..thinks back...so deeply sad....to when she was young, thinks of her children, her man....all gone...just a wreath to remember the fallen...a bleak winter woods behind her...just her own lonely thoughts for company...in this almost colourless cold painting...with one last almost exhausted candle...in the last days of her wintered life. 😔😞😪😪

The inner sections of this orchestra are particularly superb. Horns bassons.. violas.... and the trombones hold it back for once. The intonation always fab. And you hear detail on this performance that is lost on other recordings. And somebody please give D the credit for one of the greatest most satisfying endings of any work..... ever!

[@magisterd.5246]

@@dim4ka74 In the catholic church on the second day of November, we are celebrating All Souls Day when we remember all those who are gone to the other side of life. In Poland a day before, on November 1st, we are visiting the tombs of our relatives, bring flowers and light candles there as a sign of memory. My interpretation of the painting is that this old lady is selling a wreath next to an elementary or she is remembering someone probably on that day. I might be wrong but this is what I think.

[@derdritteweltskrieg932]

When music creates an image with intended emotion in the mind, then the composer has delivered an effect that is worthy of any masterful notation. Perfection is an unreachable goal, but sincerity, passion and artestry are worthy aims. Here is a composition that beautifully extends his gift for story telling of lyrical proportions, with a depth of beauty that is abound with a happiness in such a sad way. Conveying a sombre mood with anguish and a happiness that we can all agree, that this man was born to delight us with sounds that are passionate lovers to any ear. This is the spirit of real music, to real people with real ideals in a world that has forgotten honesty and worship only the fake.

The context of this piece is absolutely heartbreaking. All three of his children had died within a short period of time.

[@Hernandius3095]

Well, I fact it is known that Jesús had at least one brother. Maria was "the virgin" but that has to be understood in a different context. Or let us say, every woman is a virgin AFTER having the first child. A different conception of virginity but it makes sense.

[@mamma1907]

??????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@berbatov3890]

ValerioDenise Salvador i agree

[@danielsondanielson]

Dvorak had nine children altogether. Only first three of them died very quickly.

berbatov3890 Yes, he started composition as a reaction to the death of his daughter Josefa. Then, due to his other obligations, he was forced to postpone the orchestration of the work. He returned to the finalisation of the composition in 1877, when his two surviving children died within a short time of each other. At that moment he was childless. (wikipedia)

I just discovered the source of the epitaph on my parents headstone. Then I wrote this poem; Today I went to see the place and tend the grave where my mother laid. I lifted her stone from beneath the earth and beheld her epitaph. “While my body here decays may my soul thy goodness praise, safe in paradise with thee.” The final verse of that Firm Mother, who stands so stoic by the Cross of Thee. As I departed, I saw among those eternal stones That mark the place of loved one’s bones, The Virgin Mother, sinking into the earth And leaning against that tree Waiting to be placed upright for Thee. What a gift this was from my Mother When I found her sinking beneath the earth And leaning against that tree.
