This review is from: Victoria: Cantica Beatae Virginis (Audio CD)

When you begin to listen this CD, your first surprise is to hear some instruments, specially viola. Tomás Luis de Victoria composed all the pieces that contains the CD only for voices, but Jordi Savall prefered to add some staff. Certainly, this great conductor uses only intruments from Renaissance, and the collective sounds with delicated texture, specially in the case of Salve Regina and Magnificat Primi Toni for eight voices. Finally, you forgot the conductor, the instruments and also yourself and relish the music of this master of the vocal music, probably, with Pallestrina, the best harmonizer of a large number of different voices. If you are interested in harmony as a musical discipline, or simply if you stir with beauty, you will find in this CD many minutes of satisfaction.
