About
Two multi-choir masses from mid-17th-century Rome (one for Easter, the other one based on Palestrina's motet for Pentecost) complete I Fagiolini's dazzling series exploring the ‘Colossal Baroque’ and tribute to the 'lost' music of Orazio Benevoli. Maestro of the cappella giulia at St Peter's, Rome, Benevoli's mastery of surround-sound is clear in these very different works. The sheer quality of his music shines through and, sung by a group at the height of its powers, changes our view of 17th-century multi-choir music. All the Masses in I Fagiolini’s Benevoli series are premiere recordings.

This third and final instalment of Benevoli's 'Colossal Baroque' multichoir Masses is quite superb...I reckon this is probably I Fagiolini at their sonorous, splendid best. A fitting end to this fantastic project.
