Palestrina: Stabat Mater

Chorus of the Vienna Staatsoper

June 29, 1937; Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (live performance)

CD: EMI (Japan) BCD-24

Note: Palestrina's "Stabat Mater" was performed with Bruckner's "Te Deum" and Mozart's Requiem in Paris when Walter conducted the Vienna Philharmonic and its chorus during a visit there in June 1937; although it is unclear whether Walter or the chorus master conducted the "Stabat Mater" on this occasion, Walter is often credited as the conductor.

Note: This separate release of the second movement may have been taken from Polydor 69771-75; the attribution of the recording to the Berlin Philharmonic has been called into question. We have not seen or heard of any copies of this release, though contemporary catalogues listed it as a separate issue and attributed the performance to the Berlin Philharmonic. Claude Arnold lists the orchestra as the Berlin State Opera Orchestra (that is, Berlin Staatskapelle).
