Rating: 3/5
Review:
Rather uninspiring
I’m afraid I’m not all that keen on this recording. There’s
nothing actively wrong with the performance; the singers are good and
blend quite well, but in Brumel’s mighty mass especially, a real
sense of depth and power is lacking. Compared to the superb
recording by The Tallis Scholars for example, this sounds rather thin
– and a slightly distant, disembodied-sounding recording doesn’t
help.
This is a decent
effort, but there are much better recordings of these works available
and if you’re just looking for Brumel’s mass, I would recommend
The Tallis Scholars.
