5.0 out of 5 stars
A sublime expression of faith through music, January 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Palestrina 400 Collection (Audio CD)
Palestrina's music has a sublimity and intensity that has probably never been surpassed since (although Taverner comes close). The Tallis scholars' recording is a superb presentation of several of Palestrina's, unfortunately, lesser known pieces. I am fortunate to attend a Cathedral where Palestrina - particularly the Missa Brevis - is favoured by the Director of Music. The quality and clarity of this recording is equal to any live performance. An absolute bargain for four hours of unequalled beauty, and not to be passed up.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, moving and inspiring CD, January 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Palestrina 400 Collection (Audio CD)
The sonority of the cadences, the mellifluous blending of voices makes this the perfect CD for spiritual guidance. If you find chants enchanting, you'll find this CD unmatched its ability to rush you spectacularly into the presence of the numinous.
