Listen to a track from this CD:
Super flumina Babylonis
Tomás Luis de Victoria:
Psalms and Motets
Yorkshire Bach Choir
Yorkshire Baroque Soloists
conducted by Peter Seymour
Tomás Luis de Victoria’s masses and motets are at the same time conservative in the skilled use of counterpoint and coherent polyphonic texture, and innovative in the intense and highly mystical interpretation of the text. Victoria’s music reached great fame in its time, especially his masses, and all his works were published in his lifetime.
This recording uses new editions based on the part books in the British Library: Missae, Magnificat, Motecta, Psalmi et alia quam plurima; 3, 4, 8, 9, 12vv (Madrid, 1600).
