Poulenc / Howarth / Robinson / Bbc Philharmonic - Stabat Mater / Litanies / Quatre Motets - DVD

Poulenc wrote his "Stabat Mater," a hauntingly passionate work, after visiting the sacred shrine of the Black Madonna of Rocamadour. He made a pilgrimage to her remote chapel in the south of France after a good friend of his was hilled in a car accident.
