I Fagiolini - Tomas Luis de Victoria: Tenebrae Responsories - Import CD

Credits:

I Fagiolini

Description:

One of Victoria's masterpieces! A Holy Week Responsorium! Founded by Robert Hollingworth at Oxford University in 1986, the British ensemble I Fagiolini was awarded the "Ensemble Award" by the Royal Philharmonic Society in May 2006. The Sixteen's fifth release on their own Coro label features Victoria's "Holy Week Responsorium" interwoven with nine moving poems about the death and dying of his wife from Christopher Reed's "A Scattering," a collection of poems that won the 2009 Costa Book of the Year award. Interwoven with the readings is Victoria, who in the late 16th century chose how to portray the work in simple textures rather than the polyphonic choral excesses that composers of the time were aiming for. The album also attempts to record the pieces at the low pitch intended by the composer. Tokyo M-Plus
