The Opus 71 Choir (conducted by Christian Garneret), accompanied by four soloists and a pianist, perform Antonín Dvořák's Stabat Mater.
Antonín Dvořák's Stabat Mater, composed between 1876 and 1877, is a deeply moving choral work inspired by a medieval text describing the suffering of the Virgin Mary at the foot of the cross.
In it, Dvořák, scarred by the loss of his children, expresses his grief with a rare intensity.
In this performance, the piano accompaniment brings great intimacy while preserving the expressive power of the work.
The piano, both support and partner to the choir, dialogues with the voices with sobriety and depth.
The work, structured in ten movements, explores in turn tenderness, supplication and hope.
Each part reveals great musical and spiritual sensitivity.
This version with piano and choir brings out the clarity of the text and the direct emotion, in a contemplative and poignant atmosphere.
Now recognised as a masterpiece, it offers a more interior and contemplative approach to the Stabat Mater.
A musical moment of great intensity to be discovered or rediscovered.
Opus 71 (the choir)
The Opus 71 chamber choir, founded in 2004 by Christian Garneret, is made up of 4 to 5 well-balanced desks, depending on the programme, i.e. 24 to 30 singers of a good musical level from the south of Burgundy (Saône & Loire, Beaunois).
Its vocation is to share its passion and to give the best possible service to music from all periods.
The group is able to tackle both the great repertoire and more intimate, lesser-known works, for mixed choir or equal voices, accompanied by professional instrumentalists and soloists from the Burgundy region.
Each year, Opus 71 produces several concerts and programmes in Chalon sur Saône, Beaune and other towns in Burgundy.
