Title: Interesting combination
Review: I generally don't lump Bassono and Andrea and Giovannie Gabrieli with the music of Pergolesi. The polychoral sounds of the Venician late renaissance composers is always a joy to hear and these performers do a good job.The Miserere, purported to be composed by Pergolesi, is a beautiful piece, but I'm not convinced that it is Pergolesi. Pergolesi's tendency to use recurring themes in his music as in the famous "Stabat Mater" seems absent in the Miserere. Perhaps I need to go back to school and become a musicologist, but I found the styles I've listened to in Pergolesi's other religious works to be somewhat different than what I heard in the Miserere.Even so, it is beautiful music from the transition period between the high baroque and the stil galant. Even with my doubts about Pergolesi's authorship of the Miserere, I recommend this album.
