This beautiful 3-CD Pergolesi set (2007–2009) is a tribute to the musical principles he stood for, to his modesty and thoroughness, and of course to the composer:

Pergolesi also featured on a stunning earlier disc from 1985 with the LSO . http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/cat/4151032
Interesting that Abbado returned to Pergolesi late in his life again and this time recorded 3 CDs.
I find it very remarkable how open minded he was about period practice performance.
Comparing the 2 versions of the Stabat Maters is an eye opener ! And both versions are ravishingly beautiful.
Thank you so much for posting that.
