Today is the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows and here is a sample of music inspired by the liturgy of today. This is one of my favorites settings of this text; it just does my little Baroque heart some good!! Not to mention it features one of the best sopranos who sings this period of repertoire: Emma Kirkby. Yes this is my bias, but I don't think there are few sopranos with such clarity and warmth of tone. Anyhow, Happy feast day and enjoy!!
