Spem in alium

Imagine the voice of heaven itself: music that belongs to eternity yet somehow always feels new. Thomas Tallis’s Spem in alium is a landmark of Renaissance music – a masterpiece that seems to create its own sense of time and space. For more than 50 years, The Tallis Scholars have been the world’s pre-eminent performers of Tallis’s music; this should be extraordinary.

'In this acoustic, the famously rich textures were remarkably clear and this was the sort of performance where you could marvel again at Tallis’ remarkable dexterity and cleverness, yet the whole seemed effortless and magical.' - Planet Hugill
