Presto Recording of the Week1st December 2017
1st December 2017
Everything here is sung with extreme subtlety and a delicacy which rather confounded my expectations. Palombella (who, like all his predecessors in the role, is ordained in Holy Orders) clearly encourages his singers to eschew vocal grandstanding and approach the music in a spirit of reverence and devotion: it may take your ears a little while to adjust to the introspective quality of the music-making, but it’s well worth the effort.
