What better way to encapsulate the spirit of Christmas than with works of such devotional beauty, all sung with Westminster Cathedral Choir's customary finesse and atmospheric reverence
Martin Baker's first disc of Palestrina with Westminster Cathedral Choir (CDA67353, released in January of this year) was highly praised across the world [my favourite quote being 'Palestrina's mellifluous counterpoint resonates like whipped cream in the cathedral acoustics ... Delicious' (The Scotsman)]. Here follows another delicious disc of Palestrina, this time dedicated to Christmas, the main work being the stunning Missa Hodie Christus natus est - one of Palestrina's most popular works.
What better way to encapsulate the spirit of Christmas than with works of such devotional beauty, all sung with Westminster Cathedral Choir's customary finesse and atmospheric reverence.
