Notes & Reviews:

Palestrina is a towering figure of the Renaissance and ranks as one of the great composers. His output of over 100 masses, 250 motets and several volumes of liturgical works is remarkable even by the standards of the day. Nearly all his music was composed for the Papal choir, and the fact that he remained closely within the orbit of the Vatican marks him out as a conservative musician. This 5 disc set contains 6 Masses including the masterpiece Missa Papae Marcelli, Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet, and a Stabat Mater.

Gramophone Magazine
The final Agnus is especially beautiful with its added voice in the middle of the texture. Further recordings of this work are unlikely to displace the all-male, solo-voice approach advocated here.The plainchant relevant to each Mass is beautifully rendered and unobtrusive, and the recording has a full presence but is not too close.
