Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594)
Alma redemptoris mater a 8
Canite tuba
Deus tu conversus
Hodie Christus natus est
Missa Hodie Christus natus est
O magnum mysterium
Tui sunt caeli
O admirable commercium
Christe redemptor omnium
Magnificat primi toni

Ce magnifique album contient des œuvres dédiées à la période de Noël, la pièce principale étant la fascinante Missa Hodie Christus natus est, l'une des pages les plus célèbres de Palestrina.

Martin Baker’s recordings of Palestrina with Westminster Cathedral Choir have been highly praised across the world. Here is a sumptuous recording of works dedicated to the festival of Christmas, the main work being the stunning Missa Hodie Christus natus est—one of Palestrina’s most popular works. This is music of great devotional beauty, all sung with Westminster Cathedral Choir’s customary finesse and atmospheric reverence.
