Music reviews of Thomas Tallis: Complete Works

Music Review: Another Superb Set from Brilliant Classics
Rating: 5 Stars

I can't praise highly enough the service to the music world that Brilliant Classics is doing by issuing the complete works of both well-known and lesser-known masters. Brilliant is perhaps best known for its complete sets of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, each priced at a little over $100 for close to 100 CDs in each set.

I was previously familiar with the English Thomas Tallis (1505-1585), but not with the complete spectrum of his works, which is available in this set. Most of the works are Catholic Latin choral works, highly suggestive of the sublime master of sacred polyphony, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1514-1594), Tallis's Italian contemporary.

Palestrina remained completely Catholic, and wrote only for the Church. Tallis, as an Englishman, was caught up in that revolutionary period, when Henry VIII and his successors began introducing modified Church services in the early part of that period known as the Protestant Reformation. CD6 contains some of the music for these services, some in Latin and some in English. (English just doesn't cut it as a liturgical language; it always comes across as trite in comparison to the Latin.)

Some of Tallis's Latin settings almost equal the great Palestrina, such as "Spem in alium" for forty individual voices, which is perhaps the most familiar of Tallis's works. CD9 and CD10 contain Tallis's instrumental music, primarily on lute and harmonium, with some vocal airs.

The engineering is clear, as with all the Brilliant Classics sets, which are not reissues of older material, but new recordings. The 10-CD set is supplemented by a CD-ROM containing all linernotes and text of the vocal music.
