Tallis : Spem in Alium

Tallis : Spem in Alium
- Shrink-wrapped
Magnificats tribute to Thomas Tallis, the Father of English Church Music, offers music from four to forty singers ranging from the transcendent simplicity of Te lucis ante terminum to the incomparable tour-de-force Spem in alium for forty voices. The latter is a simply spectacular performance which earned a Gramophone 'Editor's Choice' plaudit: This is quite the best performance of Tallis's 40-part Spem in alium that I have heard. Originally released in 2000, Tallis: Spem in alium has been re-issued as part of Linns ECHO series which offers a second chance to enjoy the best of the labels award-winning catalogue. Magnificats clear melodic lines, rich vocal textures and sense of spaciousness all contribute to create a well-nigh perfect performance of this mesmerising Renaissance polyphony. Magnificat is one of the worlds premier vocal ensembles whose recordings have met with huge critical acclaim: Victorias Officium Defunctorum was named Critics Choice by Gramophone and chosen by The Rough Guide as one of its 100 Essential Classical CDs. Directed by Philip Cave, Magnificat specialises in the restoration and performance of neglected choral masterpieces of the 16th and 17th centuries. In association with Linn Records, Magnificat has undertaken many highly successful recording projects of music from The Golden Age, including works by Gesualdo, Guerrero, des Prez, Rebelo, Victoria, Allegri, Tallis and Da Palestrina, as well as Latin sacred music by Robert Parsons, Robert White and William Byrd and two recordings to commemorate the 450th anniversary of composer Philippe Rogier.
