This legendary recording by The Tallis Scholars masterfully captures the overwhelming, architectural scale of Thomas Tallis's 40-part Renaissance motet. The breathtaking vocal performance weaves incredibly complex, polyphonic chant into a deeply spiritual, intensely atmospheric auditory experience. It stands as a flawless, highly meditative, and ethereal definitive interpretation of 16th-century English choral music.
