This performance of Byrd's Quomodo Cantabimus, where each voice is on equal terms, produces a clarity which is utterly thrilling. The empassioned singing is never overdone, while the elegance of phrasing allied to real feeling for the - extraordinary - text, all encased in a "just" tempo, produces a performance of real majesty. The quality of the recording is also excellent; essential if this music is to be heard in all its glory.
Can you imagine what it was like to be there present at the first row in the middle? It was a delight with many famliar faces from other ensembles like the Tallis Scholars and the Sixteen. .
