About this item

Amazon.com Whenever a first-rate ensemble presents a compelling reason to investigate unfamiliar works of an important composer, it's cause for celebration. In the case of William Byrd, who wrote more than 200 sacred choral compositions, the CD catalog offers a pathetically small sampling of any more than a handful of "major" pieces. This recording gives us 18 well-chosen Latin motets and English anthems, most of which will be new to the majority of listeners. Pieces such as "Emendemus in melius," "Praise our Lord, all ye Gentiles," and the rousing six-part "Attollite portas" make for an enjoyable and enriching listening experience. Much of the credit for this is due to the warm, concert- hall sound of the Cambridge Singers, with its remarkably unified, pure soprano sound and evenly-balanced ensemble tone. The singers treat this lovely music with care and with a refined sense of style, never neglecting the ever-present sensual appeal of Byrd's writing. --David Vernier
