Notes & Reviews:

"... The performance was recorded in the church of St. Jude-on-the-Hill in London, a gloriously spacious acoustic; it does not, though, veil the transparency of the thirteen unaccompanied voices and their shimmering sonority arising from pinpoint intonation...Hitherto unknown music from a master of the Spanish Renaissance - a disc to treasure." -1001 Classical Recordings

"Michael Noone has spent some time studying the Toledo Codex 25, a badly damaged manuscript copied in 1546 and 1549, and two years ago presented a concert at the Cuenca Festival (27:1) at which he performed for the first time nine sacred works from this source, all but one included on this disc. Unlike Noone's earlier recordings of Spanish music with "orchestra," this disc offers splendid a cappella singing. The disc certainly enlarges our appreciation of Morales, always regarded as leading light of El Siglo de Oro." -J.F. Weber, Fanfare

BBC Music Magazine
For this historically important disc, Michael Noone has uncovered a large number of pieces written by Morales during his two years at Toledo Cathedral from 1554. The heavenly acoustic of St Jude-in-the-hill in London creates a fine sense of spaciousness without veiling the Ensemble's glorious transparency in contrapuntal lines, and their shimmering sonority of immaculate tuning on sustained cadential chords.
