ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Quote from Wikipedia:
Karol Szymanowski’s Stabat Mater, Op. 53, was composed in 1925 to 1926 for soprano, alto and baritone soloists, SATB choir, and orchestra. The work is divided into six movements and uses Jozef Janowski’s (1865–1935) Polish translation of the Marian hymn, Stabat Mater.
Szymanowski’s first composition on a liturgical text, Stabat Mater was written during his late period of 1922–1937, characterized by his use of Polish melodies and rhythms. Following a trip to Zakopane in 1922, Szymanowski wrote of Polish folk music: “[it] is enlivening by its proximity to Nature, by its force, by its directness of feeling, by its undisturbed racial purity.” Szymanowski’s pairing of Polish musical elements with a liturgical text in Stabat Mater is unique.
