| |  | The Tallis Scholars sing William Byrd
Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips (director) Recorded in the Church of St John at Hackney and in Tewkesbury Abbey “England has never produced a greater composer than William Byrd. His music for the Anglican Church has
been sung without interruption since the 16th century. In stark contrast his Catholic music was not heard for over
300 years. This selection compares the formal public style of Byrd’s Anglican works like The Great Service
with the plangent intimacy of his Masses and motets.” Peter Phillips “This will delight fans of Byrd and this choir. Compelling performances (especially Ave verum) and a resonant if slightly distant sound. Some pieces though (the Mass a 5) have a surface, rather than inner, drive.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Byrd Edition Volume 5 - The Masses
David Skinner Cardinall's Musick, Andrew Carwood These intimate, dark, mystical settings are creations of great feeling, expressing the sorrow of deprivation. All three masses reach an intensity rarely equalled in Renaissance times, and culminating in Agnus Dei settings which are among the most poignantly beautiful in all music. These will remain definitive performances for many years to come. Each mass in preceded by an organ Fantasia. Suprisingly there is only one other modern issue currently to present all three masses on a single CD. "The singing is technically polished, the tuning faultless and the overall sonority rounded and rich." (Choir & Organ) | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
