For the 300th anniversary of the birth of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-
1736), the "Italian Mozart", whose music is practically unknown today,
the Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini came up with a brilliant idea. The
Fondazione, which has been devoting itself to the research and
performance of Pergolesi's music for years now, joined forces with
UNITEL CLASSICA to record all eight of the master's stage works on
video in HD and 5.1 Surround Sound. A landmark project that will
provide many impulses for the rediscovery of the other epoch-making
works by this composer besides his "Stabat mater" and "La serva
padrona".
