Gloria / Stabat Mater

Album by Francis Poulenc & Chœur de Radio France & Orchestre national de France & Georges Prêtre

Gloria / Stabat Mater is a recording pairing two sacred choral works by Francis Poulenc, composed in 1950–51 and 1959. Both works blend neo-classical clarity, hymn-like choral textures and sudden harmonic shifts, alternating intimate, reflective passages with more extroverted choral writing, and they occupy a mature phase of Poulenc's output in which he returned prominently to sacred themes.
First released: 1989
