Dear ClassicsOnline customer,
This weekend, we bring you three must-have albums on sale — a striking Vivaldi Stabat mater, a highly-regarded Biber album and standard-setting Mahler 2 by the London Philharmonic. In addition, the entire Delos label is on sale for two days, and don't forget to pick up our free track of the week this time the Dance from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. We believe music sounds sweeter when it is purchased at a bargain, and hope you do too.
Sincerely,
The ClassicsOnline Team |

Naive: OP30453
Vivaldi, A.: Nisi Dominus / Credo / Stabat Mater (Jaroussky, Lemieux, Ensemble Matheu, Spinosi)
The young Canadian contralto brings a gorgeous sound, a mature sense of phrasing and great presence to this pulsing, dignified portrait of suffering. - Globe and Mail

Cedille: CDR90000-116
Biber, H.I.F. von: Chamber Music (Baroque Band, Clarke)
So, a vividly characterized Battalia makes a worthy contrast with the more easy-going elegance of the Mensa sonora. This enjoyable and superbly performed recording debut by Baroque Band can be warmly recommended.

LPO: LPO-0054
Mahler, G.: Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection" (Stotun, Kucerova, London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, V. Jurowski)
Here we have, quite simply, the most insightful, illuminating and uplifting performance that Mahler's Resurrection has enjoyed in a generation. As I wrote in these pages: 'You may think you know how Mahler's Second Symphony goes. Think again.'
