“The performances are wonderfully alive to both the verbal and the musical meaning, the sound of the 18 voices of The Sixteen consistently warm and transparent.” — The Guardian After Volume 1 won the International Classical Music Award for Early Music, Volume 2 of The Sixteen’s new series devoted to Palestrina is based around his glorious antiphon for Christmas Day, Hodie Christus natus est. Palestrina’s legacy and impact on sacred music worldwide is second to none; he was a master craftsman whose music composers of all ages have attempted to emulate.
