Martin Baker's first disc with the choir following his appointment at the Cathedral last year (MacMillan's Mass, CDA67219) was a resounding success. He returns to more familiar territory with this disc of Palestrina sacred music, focusing on music for Whitsuntide. (Whit Sunday commemorates the coming of the Holy Spirit in the form of flames to the Apostles, as recorded in the New Testament).
This is glorious music and for it Martin Baker has drawn the best from his glorious choir.
"Westminster Cathedral Choir and their new music director Martin Baker continue the Hyperion/Westminster tradition with this thrilling recording of Palestrina's Pentecost Mass, published posthumously in Venice in 1599. This example of his Mass composition - he wrote at least 104 settings - shows a wonderful confidence and surefootedness, not least in his employment of the motet at the core of the five movements of the larger work."
