The Tallis Scholars
The Palestrina 400 Collection
Recorded in:
Merton College Chapel, Oxford (CD 1-3)
Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Salle, Norfolk (CD 4)
In 1995, on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Palestrina's death, Gimell issued this mid-price collection of four excellent Tallis Scholars recordings of music by their "patron saint" composer (the choir's name notwithstanding). The contents of the set include the Masses Benedicta es, Nigra sum, Nasce la gioja mia, Assumpta est Maria, Sicut lilium, the Missa Brevis, and the legendary "Pope Marcellus" Mass.
