Title: A lovely Renaissance Mass
Review: I bought this cd because it received a starred review in the Penguin Guide to Classical Music on CD, and I have to say that the music certainly deserves that accolade.Cardoso is a Portuguese composer of the late Renaissance. This mass setting sounds more rythmically complex and less purely Renaissance than those of (the earlier) Palestrina. The sung phrases are very long, making the music sound ethereal and serene. The music is very beautiful, and also very calming. (I don't know about you, but one of the reasons I like to listen to Renaissance Masses is because they calm me down.)The quality of the singing is, as is usual with the Tallis Singers, first-rate, and the recording is also excellent.I have to thank the Tallis Singers and the Penguin Guide for introducing me to an unfamiliar composer! This cd truly is wonderful.
