Info
In the unique acoustics of this sacred space, Pergolesi’s music unfolds with moving intensity—intimate, sonically transparent, and imbued with spiritual depth.
The Artis Astra ensemble performs on period instruments, bringing to life the subtle pain, tenderness, and heartfelt devotion of this composition. The two soloists, Tamara Jagersberger (soprano) and Alexandra Aidonopoulou (alto), lend the dialogue between Mary and the contemplative listener a powerful expressiveness and vocal elegance.
With Annalisa Virzì and Aliona Kalechyts-Pietrowskaja on Baroque violins, Gabriel Weinhandl on the Baroque cello, and Ana Maria Ospina on the harpsichord, a finely balanced, authentic Baroque sound emerges that allows Pergolesi’s music to shine in all its emotional authenticity.
The crypt maintains a pleasant temperature year-round.
