Reviews

‘Never before has Spem in alium, Tallis's great 40-part motet, so closely resembled The Last Judgement as it does in this vast and awesome performance’ (Gramophone)

‘A thrilling large scale performance’ (CDReview)

‘A magnificent sound’ (Daily Mail)
Salvator mundi, from the Cantiones sacrae of 1575, uses a canon at the lower octave between the superius and tenor. This is the second of two settings of this text by Tallis.

Salvator mundi utilise un canon simple, à l’octave inférieure, entre le superius et le tenor. C’est ici la seconde fois que Tallis met ce texte en musique.
