About

The Cardinall's Musick's thrilling exploration of Tallis' sacred music comes to a glorious close with both versions of the great forty-part motet: 'Spem in alium' itself and 'Sing and glorify', the less familiar English-texted contrafactum.

Awards and reviews

December 2016

Carwood moulds the structures to great effect, with wide ranging dynamics from hushed groupings of eight voices to the full force.

January 2017

There’s a sonorous warmth to the lower voices, ameliorating the occasionally searing soprano, in a recording of great clarity which serves the 40 parts well

November 2016

The placing of the lovely miniature God grant with grace just after the monumental Spem is very moving, and this In ieiunio is as fine an account of it as I can recall…Carwood’s ensemble give the sense of an unfolding tapestry, and the sound recording holds detail and monumentality in fine balance

9th January 2017

The end of a highly distinguished contribution to the discography of Thomas Tallis.
