"Throughout, the singing by the Oxford Camerata is first rate, with careful attention to the constantly changing balances and to the clarity of the inner lines. The sopranos are particularly lovely, and the women's plainchant Salve regina is an unexpected treat" - Classics Today on 'Gombert Motets' performed by Oxford Camerata with Jeremy Summerly (Naxos 8.557732)

Though he lived through some of the most tumultuous times in English history, from the reigns of Henry VII to Elizabeth I, Thomas Tallis (c. 1505-1585) composed music for both the Catholic and Anglican churches that resounds the world over to this day. Whether singing the monumental splendour of his famous 40-part motet Spem in alium or the intimate prayer I call and cry to thee, O Lord, the internationally renowned Oxford Camerata conducted by Jeremy Summerly are perfectly attuned to Tallis's timeless genius.
