Translate German English French Spanish Portuguese Italian Dutch Polish Russian Japanese Chinese Simon-Pierre Bestion placed two Stabat Mater works side by side that are more than 150 years apart: "I feel the same tonal language, the same expression of sadness in these two works," says the founder of La Tempête. ... "I decided to 'enlarge' Scarlatti's orchestration and 'minimize' that of Dvořák so they could meet each other on the same level. For Scarlatti, I added string parts that sometimes double the vocal lines, colla parte, as was often done in that era: This not only strengthens the sound, but also gives the voice an extra timbre. For the Dvořák, I transcribed the original piano part into its minimal orchestral dimension, that is, for strings. This creates a shared sound world between the two works - I would even say they share the same kind of lyricism, with only the timbres of the piano, organ and theorbo standing out."
