Synopsis

Album Description

António Teixeira's extraordinary and grandly structured setting of the Deum was written for a New Year's Eve performance in 1734 in the Italian Church of his home city, Lisbon. Calling for eight soloists, five spaced choirs and a large orchestra, this lavish and ornate piece bubbles and sparkles through the text with a easy zest and breezy charm that is distinctively Portuguese, giving us a rare insight into musical life in Lisbon before the devastating earthquake of 1755.

Excellent performance

Luis Pousada | Lisbon, Portugal | 10/06/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have listened to this performance and I can only say that it is beautifully extraordinary. I have lost the CD while and have decided to get a new one to replace the lost one, as I find this a truly marvellous work."
