Description: The world premiere recording of a rediscovered, emotionally gripping Stabat Mater, a late work by the Bohemian Tůma. The version presented here, one of Tuma’s five settings of the text, long lay forgotten in the Abbey library in Ottobeuren, until the artistic director of the Pluto-Ensemble rediscovered it. It is heard here with Biber’s Requiem and a handful of short instrumental works. Pluto Ensemble; Marnix de Cat and Hathor Consort; Romina Lischka.
