Tallis: Spem in Alium CD

by James R Oestreich (New York Times - December 2016)



The New York Times Best Classical Music Recordings of 2016
“Sooner or later in its excellent survey of Thomas Tallis’s a cappella choral works, the Cardinall’s Musick — as listed, 12 strong — was going to have to beef up to tackle the great 40-voice motet Spem in Alium. Here it is, and even amid rich and exalted company, it stands apart as something truly extraordinary.”
James R Oestreich, New York Times
