About the composer
Camillo de Nardis (1857 – 1951) was born in Orsogna, Italy. He studied at the Conservatory of Naples, where he gained his diploma of composition in 1879. He stayed at the Conservatory to become first a teacher and later vice-director.

About the Stabat Mater
| Date: | 1885 |
| Performers: | Violin + pianoforte |
| Length: | 6.17 minutes |
| Particulars: | The CD-insert describes this Preludio allo Stabat Mater del celebre M° Pergolesi as follows: The composition is divided into four parts which follow each other without a break. A "Andantino" is followed by an "Allegro non tanto" built as an extremely rigorous fugue around three voices. Then comes a short modulating recitative which introduces the "Moderato" con sentimento" which in turn gives way to a new "Allegro" finish. It is a well constructed piece drawing clearly recognizable on themes from Pergolesi's work. |
