Description
Cristobal Morales was by all accounts a highly influential, well regarded Spanish composer of sacred music; some modern musicians suggest, the best between Josquin and Palestrina. Boldly experimental in his youth, his later works display a growing Venetian and Roman influence in their use of dramatic homophony. Surprisingly little of his extensive oeuvre has been recorded--but then, who needs to hear for the first time a great mass or motet by an acknowledged but largely forgotten master, when one can listen to the 30th recording of the Requiem by yet another master, Verdi? This album also includes several of his motets, of which over a hundred exist.
