Der Schmerz der Jungfrau Maria in der Musik der Passionszeit

Whether it is Rome, Venice, London or Oxford, the repertoire of sacred music for Good Friday is inexhaustible.

They sing Palestrinaʼs Stabat mater for St. Peterʼs Basilica, the Tenebrae by the Spaniard Victoria, and a Marian motet by Monteverdi, but also humble prayers by the greatest English masters of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
