Jakub Hrůša conducts Dvořák’s Stabat mater
For the Czech conductor Jakub Hrůša, Antonín Dvořák’s Stabat mater is a “wonderful gift”. The composition occupies a prominent position among the numerous settings of the medieval text. In it, Dvořák came to terms with his grief at the death of three of his children and composed a work in which dramatic outbursts alternate with passages full of tenderness, closing with an ecstatic vision of resurrection.
