Tallis:
Lamentations of Jeremiah II
Lassus: Missa Bell' Amfitrit'
altera
The Tallis Scholars
Peter Phillips, director
The
Tallis Scholars perform the music for which they are most beloved and
acclaimed the world over. As Gramophone Magazine said of their Byrd
recording, ‘it’s the sort of musical bliss which should never stop’.
Tallis’s moving Lamentations are interspersed with two
wonderfully contrasted settings of the Mass. Byrd’s has a reflective and
intense spirit, reflecting the dangers that assailed his fellow Catholics
worshipping in 1590s England. But Lassus’ Missa Bel’Amfitrit’
altera is a joyous, flamboyant and spectacular celebration. It is
written for two choirs and includes some of his most electrifying,
rhythmic and festive music.
Come
