Vivaldi: Stabat Mater is an album by Jakub Jozef Orlinski, released in 2022. The album is a Cd+Dvd classical 2-CD.

Jakub Józef Orliński, with the instrumentalists of Capella Cracoviensis and conductor Jan Tomasz Adamus, performs Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater on both CD and DVD. As Easter approaches, the text of the Stabat Mater – a powerful and moving 13th century poem – offers a timely reflection on Mary’s suffering at the Cross.

When recording the work in Kraków in 2020, Jakub Józef Orliński envisioned taking this ‘pandemic project’ further by making a video to illustrate Vivaldi’s 20-minute score. The resulting short feature has been conceived by award-winning director Sebastian Pańczyk. Through powerful and sometimes disturbing imagery it makes a new and thought-provoking interpretation of the Stabat Mater. Set in the present day, its episodic, enigmatic narrative explores the themes of empathy and the interdependence of man and nature. Jakub Józef Orliński plays the protagonist, both a suffering human being and the symbol of something more mysterious and universal.
