Product description

"Treasures of the Spanish Renaissance" is a captivating journey through the rich musical heritage of the Spanish Renaissance, as interpreted by the renowned Westminster Cathedral Choir under the direction of David Hill. Released in December 1986 on the Hyperion label, this album showcases the choir's exceptional skill and the profound beauty of this often overlooked repertoire.

The album features ten tracks, each a masterpiece in its own right, composed by Francisco Guerrero, Alonso Lobo, and Sebastian De Vivanco. The pieces range from the solemn and reflective to the joyous and celebratory, offering a comprehensive exploration of the spiritual and emotional depth of Renaissance choral music. Highlights include the hauntingly beautiful "Ave Maria" and the triumphant "Magnificat octavi toni," both of which demonstrate the choir's technical precision and expressive power.

With a duration of just over an hour, "Treasures of the Spanish Renaissance" is a testament to the enduring appeal of this music and the choir's ability to bring it to life. Whether you're a seasoned fan of choral music or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. The Westminster Cathedral Choir's performance is a true celebration of the human voice and the timeless beauty of Renaissance polyphony.
