About "Stabat Mater, RV 621 : Vivaldi: Stabat Mater, RV 621: IV. Quis est homo – V. Quis non posset – VI. Pro peccatis" by James Bowman

Movements IV–VI sharpen the blade: “Quis est homo” asks who can watch without weeping. Bowman’s voice trembles with restrained fury, the continuo a heartbeat under interrogation. The music tightens like a fist around a thorn, beauty and brutality locked in a slow dance.
