Double Five!,
By Giordano Bruno (Wherever I am, I am.) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Taverner: Mater Christi Sanctissima; In Nomine (Audio CD)
This is easily my favorite Taverner mass, and easily my favorite performance by The Sixteen. To my ear, the English Renaissance masses such as Taverner's are more suited to choral performance than the Franco-Flemish or Italian works, which always sound clearer and more dramatic sung one-on-a-part (or two-on-a-part if the twos are truly skilled!). The interspersed instrumental "moments" supplied by Fretwork (viol consort) are beautifully played and appropriate. This is spacious, joyful music. I love it!

Stunningly sung tudor music,
By Aquinas "summa" (celestial heights, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Taverner: Mater Christi Sanctissima; In Nomine (Audio CD)
This is really beautiful music masterfully conducted by Christophers and sung by the sixteen who I have had the pleasure of seeing on a number of occasions at the Barbican, London. I find myself returning to this CD time and time again- the high notes are sung in an ethereal fashion - I am a new comer to Taverner and feel that I have sorely missed out on the great treasury of european polyphony but alas in early middle age I have now found it. AMDG!
