About

Amarae morti: Lamentations and Motets by Cardoso, Gombert, Lassus, Morales, Palestrina, Phinot & Victoria. From darkness to light: Peter Phillips’ journey enlists some of the greatest names from across Renaissance Europe. Our survey of some of the finest—but perhaps lesser-known—music from the Renaissance period begins with a sequence of penitential pieces; moves through an intermediate stage; before finally arriving at three obviously extrovert compositions. This dazzling parade is rounded off with Palestrina’s iconic double-choir Psalm motet, Laudate pueri.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

March 2019

Phillips pounces on all the details that matter: dissonances crunch satisfactorily, imitative points are tightly nested, and light streams through thick homophony…The choir is fresh-sounding, and its ensemble is assured. It delivers the giddiness of Victoria’s Regina caeli with panache. But the innocence of its vocal quality, and its submissiveness to Phillips, left this reviewer wishing for an edgier sound.
4 out of 5 stars

February 2019

Here is a delightful disc made to an interesting recipe…The result has the air of a joyful adventure about it; proudly choral (as opposed to consort) but with absolutely captivating clarity…Their sound is soft and warm, and favours long, flowing phrases over bulging points of imitation.

February 2019

A fine Iberian choir and Peter Phillips have fashioned a most enjoyable disc.
