A treasure-trove of outstanding motets, including works by Bach, Buxtehude, Gabrieli, Gesualdo, Monteverdi, Palestrina, Schütz and Sweelinck. All performed in glorious new recordings from the Cambridge Singers at their sensuous and virtuosic best, joined here on disc for the first time by the acclaimed early music ensemble La Nuova Musica. All works on this disc can be found in the European Sacred Music volume edited by John Rutter for the Oxford Choral Classics series published by Oxford University Press.
"There is no doubt that the European Sacred Music Choral Classics volume is one of the most important additions to the repertoire in this century."
