How do you like this, Tasos?

Exquisite and enthralling. Especially La mer, among my top favourite renditions.

Tallis Scholars do some Gombert magnificats, first listen to new music. This is where the whole vortex of dense keyboard contrapuntal polyphony began I'm told, after the Council of Trent church voice music ceased to be contrapuntal because the words wouldn't be clear enough and the discoveries which Gombert made were continued by Hyeronymus Praetorius, Jehan Titelouze, Antonio Cabézon in their magnificats  etc.
