Rossini's "Stabat Mater" premiered on Good Friday 1833. This version was not entirely written by Rossini; Giovanni Tadolini also composed some parts. In 1842 a new version was performed, which was entirely by Rossini. The work, then conducted by Donizetti in Paris, was a great success. A new recording of this "Stabat Mater" appeared with great names: sopranos Luba Orgonasova and Cecilia Bartoli,
… tenor Raul Gimenez, bass Roberto Scandiuzzi, Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor and the Wiener Philharmoniker conducted by Myung-Whun Chung._more
