Pergolesi: Shin Hakken no Misa Kyoku (Japanese Title)

[Machine Translation] In the spring of 2018, a newly discovered work by Pergolesi, the Mass in D major, caused a stir in newspapers and music magazines. It was the first time in almost 300 years that it had been discovered, but in fact it had already been performed and recorded in 2016 under the baton of Giulio Prandi. Pergolesi died of tuberculosis at the age of 26 after writing his lifetime masterpiece "Stabat Mater," and during his short life he left behind about 10 operas, cantatas, and instrumental pieces. Due to the posthumous popularity of his works, a number of forgeries circulated, but this is a genuine work composed between 1733 and 1734. Musicologists have reproduced the piece by patching together scores that had been scattered in libraries throughout Europe. The album also includes another motet by Pergolesi, "Dignas laudes resonemus," which has never been heard of. The Ghislieri Choir and Consort, which celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2018, with soloists Petersen and Fumagalli, performs these two masterpieces, revealing a side of Pergolesi that remains unknown.

2018年の春、新聞や音楽誌を騒がせたペルゴレージの新発見作品「ミサ曲 ニ長調」。およそ300年ぶりに発見されたと話題になりましたが、実際には2016年にすでにジュリオ・プランディの指揮で演奏、録音されていました。畢生の名作「スターバト・マーテル」を書き上げ、結核のため26歳でこの世を去ったペルゴレージは、その短い生涯の間に10曲ほどのオペラとカンタータ、器楽曲などを残しました。死後に人気が出たため、いくつもの偽作が出回りましたが、この作品は1733年から1734年頃に作曲された真作。ヨーロッパ全域の図書館に散らばっていた楽譜を音楽学者たちが継ぎ合わせて再現したものです。アルバムにはもう1曲、ペルゴレージの知られざるモテット「Dignas laudes resonemus」を収録。ペーターゼン、フマガッリら実力派歌手をソリストに据え、2018年に創立15周年を迎えるギスリエーリ合唱団&コンソートが2つの傑作を演奏、ペルゴレージの知られざる側面を明らかにしています。
