I can't remember when I bought the Lp recording of this. It must have been during the 1970s, which was something of a 'Golden Age' for Early Music. I played this recording to death and when it came out on CD in the 1980s, I played that recording over and over again.
Bowman's interpretation of Vivaldi's great motets, 'Stabat Mater' and 'Nisi Dominus', have set the standard, in my opinion, for all other recordings. I think many recent recordings probably equal Bowman's, but none are actually better (Michael Chance, Graham Pushee and Robin Blaze have made admirable recordings of the Stabat Mater).

This was one of the first recordings made by the Academy of Ancient Music under the direction of Christopher Hogwood and I was fortunate enough to see these works presented in concert in my city (Adelaide, South Australia) at the time. I met James Bowman, a giant of a man! and a great gentleman - he was very kind to me and my younger sister (we were kids at the time).

Bowman sings this music with great pathos, conviction, great strength (his voice filled the Adelaide Town Hall) and great style. The sound of the Academy of Ancient Music was more 'hard edged' than many modern Baroque ensembles and I must say that I prefer this sound. Needless to say, this approach was adopted in the 1960s and 1970s by period instrument groups as something of a conscious or, perhaps, unconscious break with the patently anachronistic, 19th century, operatic and sentimental performances of Baroque sacred music which were frequently heard at the time. This recording was one of the finest H.I.P. recordings from the entire '70s decade.

So, even though this recording was made in the 1970s, it is still worth owning, and it is not just a curio.
