Allegri / Choir Of King's College London - Masses & Motets - Music CD

Gregorio Allegri deserves better than for his reputation to rest on just one piece. Alongside his iconic Miserere, which never fails to cast it's spell on listeners, the Choir of King's College London presents premiere performances of two of his five surviving masses, richly wrought with consummate skill in Palestrina's prima prattica, and of their originating motets. These radiant performances shed new light on a much-loved composer.
