Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
This is arguably the most impressive recording the Gabrieli Consort has ever made. Here you have a low-voiced choir, accompanied only by a bassoon, singing more than an hour of music that is austere even as funeral masses go--yet it all sounds positively gorgeous. Paul McCreesh's tempi are slow, but his sensitive phrasing and dynamics keep the music from ever seeming static. Where most groups rush through plainchant passages as if they'd rather not have to do them at all, these musicians take the chant seriously--and make it sound integral to the music rather than like boring but obligatory preliminaries. As usual, McCreesh sets the music in liturgical context (a memorial Mass for Philip II of Spain); the liturgy itself seems a work of art--for example, the gospel lesson (Jesus and Martha after the death of Lazarus) is unexpectedly touching. McCreesh has taken music that can seem forbiddingly sober and shown it to be mournful, powerful, serene, and sweet. --Matthew Westphal

- Deep Gratitude
I want to thank the reviewers of this recording almost as much as the performers and even the composer. They introduced concepts such as "wall of sound" and "Spanish gloom", which I know shaped my listening experience from the beginning. I would have never downloaded this album, if it weren't for them. If you don't analyze this music, if you just allow yourself to feel, it will slowly dissolve everything else and will start celebrating your essence in all of its greatness. Deepest music I've ever ... Read More

- MERCY AND JUSTICE
There was a time, before cell phones, before i-pods, even before fax machines, when the soul of a faithfully departed man or woman was sent off to the judgment of God with all the beauty and mystery of the old Roman Catholic funerary rite. Based largely on the fact that Jesus mentions the finality of hell far more often than the hope of heaven, the Church, over the ages, devised the solemn penitential requiem. She ministered to all souls, the great and the not so great, and simultainiously, reminded ... Read More

- Spanish Music of 16th Century
Cristobal de Morales is considered one of the most influential Spanish composers of the great imperial century of Spain, beginning in 1492 with the fall of Granada, last Moorish kingdom in Spain, to Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabel of Castille, and ending in the 1590's with the death of Phillip the Second and the bankruptcy of the Spanish crown. The famous events of this century in the Iberian world include the voyages of Christopher Columbus, the conquest of Mexico by Hernan Cortez (1591-21), the darker ... Read More

- My favorite McCreesh recording
Even by Paul McCreesh' high standards, this recording is a marvel. The generous acoustics, the bass-heavy chorus, and the dark accompaniment of a Spanish dulcian (called Bajon) create the hair-rising sonority that is so symbolic of the profundity of death. The choral sound is very open, in a characteristically Spanish way; it comes close to being a "wall of sound," but the textual detail remains traceable. In fact, the more austere the general mood of the work, the more effective are the sections ... Read More
