"The performances on these discs are of the very highest quality. Chapelle du Roi is a highly respected group that specializes in sacred music of the renaissance period, making them perfect exponents of Tallis's music. They are under the highly competent musicianship of their founding director Alistair Dixon."
(Bargain of the Month MusicWeb April 2009)
This fine complete set makes all music by Thomas Tallis easily accessible. The eight singers of the English ensemble Chapelle du Roi have dedicated themselves to religious Renaissance music for some thirteen years now. Their performances are being praised by audiences and critics alike. A rare treat.
Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis (1505-1585) musically must have been quite a diplomat. He managed to serve four different monarchs in a row, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. He mainly wrote church music. The quality of his output ranges from undistinguished to absolutely first class. Today his 40-part motet Spem in alium has become renowned.
Tallis enjoys his fame mainly in Anglo-Saxon countries. This set of his complete works should be able to enhance his reputation. The Chapelle du Roi under Alistair Dixon took several years to complete these 10 records. Each of these is dedicated to a part of Tallis's works ordered by their origin or purpose: Music for Henry VIII, Music at the Reformation, etc.
