Michael Finnissy is one of the best known and most productive of modern British composers, and highly featured in the Metier catalogue.  These beautiful motets are lyrical and deeply spiritual, in an accessible modern idiom.

“[Finnissy’s] motets have an apparent simplicity, a devotional serenity, an authenticity in their use of plainchant that make them hard to distinguish from works written centuries ago. Fans of Tavener and Gorecki should find enjoyment here.”

Paul Driver

The Sunday Times

“Idiomatically conceived, these motets traverse a variety of liturgical techniques with a concentration and lucidity that compel admiration.”

Richard Whitehouse

Gramophone

“This Metier recording offers a crystal clear production. The voices penetrate the ear with an ambience and clarity that easily transforms the listener from the present to a Renaissance Burgundian court . Undoubtedly great value for money at a mid-price range. ”

Classical Source

“An intriguing facet to the work of this important contemporary composer. Another enterprising release in Metier’s Finnissy series, featuring impressive singing by Voces Sacrae.”
