'Stabat Mater' in Liverpool Cathedral.

On March 15, at Liverpool Cathedral, Karl Jenkins conducted the world premiere performance of his new setting of the Stabat Mater, commissioned by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra as part of Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008. The work contains some adaptations by Grahame Davies of translations from the Epic of Gilgamesh and the work of Jalal al-Din Rumi, as well as from other sources. There is an article about the performance here, and a BBC interview with Karl Jenkins about the work here. Details of the EMI album of the work are here. And an EMI video is here.
