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
