Westminster Cathedral Choir, Martin Baker - Palestrina: Missa tu es Petrus (Missa tu es Petrus/ Missa Te Deum Laudamus) (2010)

“The passionate articulation of texts and richness of sonority is allied with immaculate tuning and ideal shaping of long arching lines...The 20 boy choristers possess seemingly faultless techniques and exquisite harmonies ring with clarity and precision...This is manna from heaven.”--Gramophone Magazine, June 2010“...the technical challenges are met with ease, as in the gear-change from duple to triple time at 'Qui ex Patre', and the 'jubilant' aspects of this celebratory work are enhanced by the high transposition”--BBC Music Magazine, August 2010 ***'Westminster Cathedral Choir has had Palestrina coursing through its veins for generations and if anybody can make it sound real and vital for the passive listener, it can; and it does, with supreme success here … A truly absorbing experience, given the complete ease and naturalness with which this outstanding London choir performs this elevated music. It is, indeed, a rare listening pleasure'
