Music reviews of Tallis, Lamentations of Jeremiah / Hilliard Ensemble
Music Review: Beauty on a Heavenly Scale
Rating: 5 Stars
Never before have I encountered such glorious mastery, devotion, terror, agony, joy, fulfillment and beauty as I have in Tallis (with the exception of Bach's Mass in B Minor). You will be taken to the depths of woe all the way to the heights of ecstasy all at the same time. Wave after wave of perfection and beauty will pulse into your soul mercilessly as you are ravished by the passion of the text, the tradition, and the sacred worship.
Ierusalem! Ierusalem!
Convertere ad Dominum tuum.
Description of Tallis, Lamentations of Jeremiah / Hilliard Ensemble
If you were to go to the other side of the universe from where barbershop music and doo-wop reside, you'd discover the five-voice Hilliard Ensemble singing Tallis. And if you happened to love this sort of music, you'd think this must be heaven. On the other hand, if you're not sure you'd like the Hilliards or Tallis, here's the perfect place to find out. The two sets of Lamentations are supreme among Tallis's longer works, exhibiting full mastery of choral part-writing and effective use of harmonic and textural contrast. The outward solemnity of these works is sustained by the music's underlying impassioned, penitential mood--which finds ideal expression in the otherworldly beauty of these perfectly matched men's voices, which bring phenomenal interpretive and technical skill to each line and closing cadence. --David VernierChamber Music CDs
