Biblical texts of lamentation were embraced by composers of the late Renaissance for their artistic and expressive potential. But in Portugal - a kingdom without a king, its people governed by a foreign power - such settings gave life, as well, to a rich expression of covert political commentary.
Rory McCleery's ongoing interest in this field of polyphony bears fruit for the first time in a groundbreaking programme. Many of these Portuguese composers are known, if at all, for a very few pieces.
Once again, McCleery and his Consort make a clarion call for music that deserves, and with their advocacy should now receive, far wider recognition.
