Music reviews of Victoria: Requiem 1605
Music Review: Great pacing, but with organ?
Rating: 4 Stars
What a lovely performance. Harry Christophers found a lovely pace at which to perform this most beautiful mass. Unfortunately, however, the recording features instrumental accompaniment in the polyphony. While this tends to not be too noticeable, there are several key moments in the music (where individual voices are isolated) where the organ is quite prominent.
This mass needs no accompaniment - the ensemble should not need filling-in by additional instruments.
That said, it is far from the typical plodding recording that most labels have published and, as such, is a very worthwhile addition to any period library.
Description of Victoria: Requiem 1605
This new recording features the celebrated Requiem of 1605, Victoria's final composition, a work of beguiling beauty and sumptuous simplicity. It can be seen as the summation of both his art and the Spanish Renaissance tradition. The beautiful plainsong on which it is structured can be heard arching through the texture, forming a delicate and sinuous line throughout. Subtly accompanied by a chamber organ and bajon, it is recorded here with the same forces as may well have performed it originally in the Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales. The Requiem is preceded by Marian Antiphons interspersed with three motets setting texts from the Song of Songs.General CDs
