Discover the album

13 June 2025 – Vevey (Switzerland) – The Verbier Festival is releasing another album under its prestigious joint label Verbier Festival Gold, in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon. Since 2022, the Verbier Festival has released a collection of 30 albums, offering a treasure trove of rare recordings from its archives. Stabat Mater, Pergolesi is now available on all streaming platforms.

For her first appearance at the Verbier Festival, the internationally acclaimed soprano Anna Netrebko and mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená join forces with Giovanni Antonini to bring Pergolesi’s last composition to celestial heights. Anna Netrebko’s voice, celebrated for its purity, precision, and breathtaking charisma, intertwines seamlessly with Kožená’s refined and soulful interpretations. Dive into the intricate interplay of voices and instruments, where the sublime is born from profound sorrow embracing one of the most exquisite baroque works ever composed.
