I've not by any means heard all settings of the Stabat Mater, however, and I may still be missing out on some of the finest ones. Rossini's deploys perhaps just a little too much operatic bombast for my tastes, though I must concede that it also contains some fine music (some of which I would perhaps have appreciated better in another piece). I'm also rather fond of Szymanowski's version, which as with much of his music, seems to be criminally underrated in comparison to relatively ordinary works by composers who are more widely popular. Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (4 March 1678 28 July 1741) was a Venetian composer, virtuoso violinist and impresario of Baroque music. The Stabat Mater is a great recording and it can be a spiritual. However, many of the movements contain thematic resemblances.

My personal favourite is Pergolesi's beautifully airy, delicate setting (why, did Pergolesi have to die so young?). Vivaldi music has much energy, as you find in a more known work called the Four Seasons. Vivaldi set 10 of the 20 verses of the Stabat Mater, marking it as a hymn for Vespers, but while every other hymn Vivaldi composed used strict strophic form, here Vivaldi repeated the music from movements 1-3 in movements 4-6, and ended with three movements with new music.

I'm referring here, of course, to the dolorosa, though contributors are also welcome to talk about settings of the speciosa if they so wish. This medieval Latin hymn, a searingly direct depiction of Mary's feelings during the Crucifixion, has been set to music by many of the great composers.
