A Palestrina and Allegri *must have* disk
Mike | 10/24/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the most inspired recording I've heard of Allegri's Miserere...absolutely haunting. It is also an excellent recording of Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli and several other works. The full resonance of Westminster Abbey is captured, and Simon Preston and the Choir take care to bring an emotionally moving yet very noble expression to the polyphony."
Breathtaking

"I first heard this in college, straight off the grunge bus. I never knew the heights to which a human could master his talents. The Miserere is simply one of the most captivating pieces I've ever heard. Listen to it in a darkened room with someone who loves surprises. And no, that's not a double entendre."
Choral Bliss

"I'm not Catholic or particularly religious. I bought this CD for the Palestrina mass, and Miserere is a huge bonus.



The choir is just superb. And kudos to the recording engineers for capturing the acoustics of Westminster Abbey so well.



If there is a heaven, the music there must sound like this. :)"
