The pieces amply demonstrate Grandi's masterful command of a variety of sacred styles; admirers of early -17th-century Italian sacred music will find plenty to sink their teeth into...in the bigger-scale psalms the choral textures are pleasingly lean, virtuoso soloist passages are executed superbly and Bach-Collegium's instrumentalists play with a nice juxtaposition of conversational grandeur.
