Palestrina is probably the most talked-about composer in the history of classical music. Beethoven and Mozart are possible rivals in this, but with them, the process hasn't been going on for so long. In spite of their name, The Tallis Scholars have sung Palestrina's music more than that of any other composer. The group was presented with a Gramophone Award for the first disc in this 2-for-1 set from Gimell, which is the fourth such offering from the label. Each of the others has become an instant bestseller - this one will undoubtedly join the others in short order.
