CORO
Disc No: COR 16021
Price: Sek. 160 EASTER RELEASE - MUSIC FOR HOLY WEEK
The Sixteen and Harry Christophers have long been applauded for their dedication to the works of Victoria, and this CD is a superb example of the composer's depth and the artists' performance. "Scholar, mystic, priest, singer, organist and composer - six persons all rolled into one and that is, quite simply, why Victoria is the most outstanding composer of the Renaissance." (HC)
This Holy Week music combines an intensity of expression with a sombre passionate and mysterious quality often thought of as peculiarly Spanish. Victoria's own intense faith imbues every note, and is expressed in the words of his own dedication of the piece to the Holy Trinity, 'God, most high Trinity, may every soul praise you. For ever reign over those you save through the Mystery of the Cross.'
