About

Palestrina had a vast impact on the development of music. Hugely famous in his day, his reputation and influence grew even more following his death and his work can be seen as a summation of Renaissance polyphony. His musical legacy is prodigious even by the standards of the time—he wrote over 100 masses—and he was the first Renaissance composer to have a complete edition of almost his whole output published in modern notation. The eighth recording in The Sixteen’s celebrated series focuses on the Last Supper and the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross at the first Easter and includes the Missa Fratres ego enim accepi. Three settings from the Song of Songs also feature.

Reviews

January/February 2020

The Sixteen (plus a couple of extra sopranos) bring a glorious sound to this work, a performance well worth waiting for. The forward movement is constant, the blend of voices beyond compare, the tempos convincing. The other works on the program fit together neatly to form a consistent treatment of the mystery of the Eucharist. If you have not heard their Palestrina, this is a good place to start. Then you will certainly want to hear what you have missed. This is the highest recommendation I can give.

November 2019

The Sixteen inflect their basic approach with considerable subtlety and skill...But in the end, their view of this much-revered composer is not as varied as his output demonstrates. Arguably, this is more a matter of programming than of interpretation...having said which, this strikes me as one of the best volumes of the series, as much for the performances as for the music.
