Description

“This is one of Pro Cantione Antiqua’s most carefully researched and best-sounding performances … It is also something of a market leader among Palestrina recordings, since it almost certainly comes closer than any other to re-creating the sound of this music as the composer himself knew it.” (Gramophone) … “Pride of place to my mind goes to Pro Cantione Antiqua’s evocative performance of Missa Papae Marcelli … complemented by the famous Stabat mater ” (Penguin Guide 3*)
