Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

In 1995, on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Palestrina's death, Gimell issued this mid-price collection of four excellent Tallis Scholars recordings of music by their "patron saint" composer (the choir's name notwithstanding). The contents of the set include the Masses Benedicta es, Nigra sum, Nasce la gioja mia, Assumpta est Maria, Sicut lilium, the Missa Brevis, and the legendary "Pope Marcellus" Mass. All of these works are reviewed more fully on pages for the individual discs (enter "Palestrina" and the name of a Mass in the "Keyword Search" line); it suffices to say that Palestrina himself couldn't have asked for a finer tribute. --Matthew Westphal

5.0 out of 5 stars A sublime expression of faith through music, January 24, 1999
By A Customer
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
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.
