Allegri Miserere

Allegri - Miserere; Messe Vidi Turbam Magnum; Motets (A Sei Voci) [1994]

Posted by Sowulo at May 1, 2014

This 1994 disc is something of a classic of the new strain of the historical-performance movement, which is characterized by a certain amount of license to speculate in the reconstruction of lost works. The Miserere mei Deus of Gregorio Allegri is, of course, not a lost work, but one with an unbroken performance tradition stretching back to its composition in the early seventeenth century (before 1638). It was sung for centuries at the Sistine Chapel, where the singers were enjoined from circulating the music beyond Vatican walls…

The Tallis Scholars - The Best Of The Renaissance (1999) Music

Classical | Label: Philips Classics | Release Year: 1999

As hateful and usually untrue as most "Best of" collections are, this one is the real thing. You actually do get two hours and 20 minutes of Renaissance music performed so exquisitely, so correctly, and so passionately that it's as if an entire era in music makes itself understood through these CDs. The Tallis Scholars are as good as it gets in this repertoire. In addition to getting Allegri's gorgeous Miserere, you'll find Thomas Tallis's 40-part (40!) Spem in alium, some wonderfully weird and dissonant Responsories by Gesualdo, Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli (the "how-to" piece of the Renaissance popes, who demanded that the words be understood), and various other works. This stuff is like a finely woven tapestry and should be listened to bits at a time–it's amazingly rich and worth it.

The Saint Cecilia Choir - Miserere: Music for Holy Week from St. John Cantius (2017) Music

Posted by SERTiL at April 3, 2017

From the heart of Chicago, St. John Cantius presents the St. Cecilia Choir through the emotional depth of Holy Week from Chicago's St. John Cantius Church. The triumphal Ingrediente Domino of "Palm Sunday" marks Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and lifts the heart. The Heavenly "high C" of Allegri's Miserere, sung at "Tenebrae" transports the listener to ethereal contemplations of Holy Week. Recorded at the venerable St. John Cantius and Re-released on AimHigher Recordings/Sony Classical in 2017.

VA - The All-Baroque Box From Monteverdi To Bach: Limited Edition Box Set 50CDs (2012)
Baroque, Classical | MP3 CBR 320 kbps | 7,65 Gb
Label: Deutsche Grammophon | Release Year: 2012

With The All-Baroque Box we realize one of our fondest dreams: harnessing the deep catalogue of Archiv Produktion (supplemented on occasion by Decca L oiseau lyre recordings) to create a comprehensive collection of great music from Monteverdi to Bach. The music ranges from huge Baroque (Missa Salisburgensis, Venetian polychoral, Charpentier Te Deum) to intimate Baroque (the Goldberg Variations, Bach cello suites, solo cantatas) overwhelming in its impact and emotional content.

Ora - Refuge from the Flames: Miserere and the Savonarola Legacy (2016) Music

Ora - Refuge from the Flames: Miserere and the Savonarola Legacy (2016)
Classical, Choral | MP3 CBR 320 kbps | 01:17:47 | 179 MB
Label: Harmonia Mundi

Savonarola is one of those figures who is often regarded as a footnote in musical history, but I feel he is much more important than that, and the wide variety of composers throughout Europe who set his meditations and other texts is surely testament to this. We have devoted much of this album to his legacy, as well as presenting two diverse, yet cohesive, settings of the words of Psalm 50: Miserere mei one of the texts upon which Savonarola wrote a meditation shortly before being put to death.
