About
A re-creation of the music combined with a technological reconstruction of the acoustic in Linlithgow Chapel: this is a project which offers a fascinating perspective on how such repertoire might originally have been heard.

Andrew Kirkman offers yet another casket of rediscovered musical gems...The main work here is the Missa Horrendo (the ‘Catherine Wheel Mass’). Its endlessly unfolding melodic contours are challenging but are sung here with a magical poise...The singers conclude with a beautifully constrained rendering of a Magnificat and Cornysh’s lovely Ave Maria.

There is some really super singing here, particularly impressive considering it was recorded in an anechoic chamber before the VR chapel acoustic was applied.
