Directed by John Rutter
Directed by the renowned John Rutter, the 29-strong, angel-voiced Cambridge Singers bring us a collection of 29 motets issued by Palestrina in 1584, at the height of his powers as a composer and revered throughout Europe. The subject of these motets is a combination of the sacred and madrigals that celebrated dance and erotic love, which Palestrina seems to have considered sacred also. In any case, the motets are in latin and the music is as if sung by a choir of angels. The liner notes are extensive and give us the words, translations and history of Palestrina and his music. Lovely! |
