Title: Absolute masterpiece
Product review: When I saw the earlier review which called this "mediocre" I had to write my opinion that this is an absolute treasure. Yes, you have to have learned the Latin of the mass so you can follow every word of the singing. Yes, this is the most drawn-out setting of the text of any mass you've ever heard--it takes a couple of hearings to adjust your expectations to the extremely long dwelling on every word. Yes, you have to be skilled in listening to polyphony. But this is the kind of masterpiece that makes you think about buying an extra CD in case something should happen to your CD. I own half a dozen performances by the Tallis Scholars, and this is my favorite.
