Customer Reviews
Victoria: The Mystery of the Cross
This is superb ensemble true to the choral Renaissance liturgical style. The passion of this Spanish genius is brought to the fore. My only quibble is that I would prefer more consonants, but I suspect Christophers prefers the liquid sound produced by less stress on enunciation. Pure straight tones are achieved by the women in the trebles without being affected - next best thing to fine boy choir. The lower voices are also quite clear and brightly projected.
Victorias Lamentations - a profound source of consolation & peace
When I was suffering daily for 20 years from agonizing headaches that kept me in bed, my only solace was the renaissance polyphony that I had been collecting in my library. Of the hundreds of pieces that I gathered, Victoria's "Lamentations" were the "pearl of great price" of music which would help me, through the Lord's Grace, to rise above the unrelenting torment of pain to reach a place of inward peace, consolation, and contemplation. Victoria transcribes the deep spirituality of St. John of the Cross and St Theresa into music. They were contemporaries from the same town of Avila, Spain.
Gorgeous!!
I just love de Victoria, so wonderfully decorated. My favorites are 3rd part of each: Maunday Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.
