Over five decades of performance and a catalogue of award-winning recordings for Gimell , Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars have done more than any other group to establish sacred vocal music of the Renaissance as one of the great repertoires of Western classical music. The 500th anniversary of Palestrina's birth gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate this most consummate of renaissance composers. From his time to ours he has come to represent an entire epoch of music, and to influence some of the greatest names from later centuries - Handel and Beethoven among them. There would be many different ways to acknowledge his achievement. I have decided to choose one little-known but exceptional mass setting, from the 107 he wrote; and to present again one or two of his greatest motets. It seemed appropriate to put these motets alongside music by his almost-contemporary, Orlandus Lassus. Sometimes Lassus sounds like Palestrina, sometimes he doesn't. Either way the comparison is fascinating. Peter Phillips The Tallis Scholars has sought to bring Renaissance works to a wider audience in churches, cathedrals and venues on every continent on the planet except Antarctica! These include the Royal Albert Hall, the Sistine Chapel, the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall New York, the Philharmonic Hall Berlin, Saint Mark's Venice, Seoul Arts Centre Korea, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre London, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall, Beijing Concert Hall, Megaron Athens and the Opera House Sydney. The Tallis Scholars continue to develop their exclusive sound, praised by reviewers for its supple clarity and tone, and to bring fresh interpretations to music by contemporary as well as past composers, such as Pärt, Tavener, Whitacre, Muhly and Jackson. ​ https://www.thetallisscholars.co.uk/ “One of the UK's greatest cultural exports.” BBC Radio 3 “A hymn to the art of perfection.” Maria Sánchez, bachtrack "Speaking of birds, it was also wonderful to glimpse Peter Phillips’s conducting: hands opening as if setting free a dove, or closing to punctuate with dotting-the-i’s exactitude. I found myself wishing I could get a choir’s-eye view to witness Phillips’ complete – lifelong – inhabiting of this music." The Observer Information Source: St. Andrew Church Pasadena | eventbrite
