Byrd - The Byrd Edition 8
 |
Gaudeamus presents the latest superb collection of Byrd's sacred music as performed by The Cardinall's Musick under the direction of Andrew Carwood. New editions of Byrd's music, made by David Skinner, together with expressive and taut performances by The Cardinall's Musick, combine to make this a joyous addition to a series that has already been met with unreserved praise.Byrd's exquisite Cantiones Sacrae of 1589 are rendered all the more powerful in the light of the composer's strong feelings on the religious upheavals England was undergoing at the time, a poignancy beautifully conveyed by the singers on this disc, along with the sublime Propers for the Feast of the Purification.ComposerWilliam Byrd (1543 - 1623) Only $11.98 - Click here to buy now! |
