Giovanni Pierluigi Da Palestrina: Lamentations
Cinquecento
The members of Cinquecento turn to perhaps the pre-eminent composer of the sixteenth century: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Settings of the Lamentations of Jeremiah would have been integral to the liturgical rites of Holy Week: here is one of the most sublime.
'It's a beautiful sound ... they just blend perfectly together ... the timbre's interesting as well. You've got countertenor Terry Wey on the top of the texture, and he's a little bit of a magician with this kind of consort singing ... the vocal control is quite remarkable' (BBC Record Review)
