Tallis
Tallis, Spem in Alium
plus bonus CD Monteverdi, Josquin, Palestrina, etc
Oxford Camerata
Jeremy Summerly
2 CDs, Naxos
Naxos are having their 18th birthday this year and recently
celebrated with a do in London. Apparently they are also including
a bonus CD with a few releases to share this birthday, or something
like that.
In this case, it makes quite a good way for people who think they
might like to get interested in early sacred music, to sample the
fare at a reasonable price. Tallis's Spem in Alium is a beautiful
piece, lovingly performed here, and the bonus CD includes a nice
cross section of early masterpieces.
