The Tallis Christmas Mass
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Tallis's seven-voice Christmas Mass "Puer natus est" (A boy is born), which until recently lacked huge portions of music (almost all of the Credo is still missing), is beautifully rendered here in a new reconstruction by longtime Tallis Scholar Sally Dunkley. This Mass, composed in a smooth, lush style full of sweet major chords, suits this choir well; their performance of it is their most enchanting work in quite some time. The other newly-reconstructed piece on this disc, "Ave Dei patris filia," is a lengthy prayer to the Virgin in typical English pre-Reformation style, with extended sections for two or three voices contrasting with sections for full five-voice choir (including spectacular high trebles); one couldn't ask for a more impressive re- introduction than the one here. --Matthew Westphal

I bought five of these to give to all my friends, whether they like classical or not. Perfect for both the intense or new fan to polyphonic.
Christmas Variety.......2003-12-25
Many different types of Christmas music on one collection, from chorales, chants and carols, to masses, motets and hymns. A perfect "traditional" disc to put in the seasonal mix!

Agnus Dei: Classical Music for Reflection and Meditation.......2000-10-02
Make it your manifest destiny to own this compilation of music. These scores are given to us by the world's most gifted composers. Performing are "heavenly" choirs and instrumentalists demonstrating true virtuosity. Large choirs perform with such intonation qualities! There appears to be just one voice in each section. Your heart will pound when you are lifted so high you realize that you have stopped breathing; likewise, with the sudden timbre of the minor you allow yourself to remember tears. The emotional roller-coaster ride will affect your inner being. It is appropriately subtitled: Classical Music for Reflection and Meditation. It is a true gift to hear the genius of Byrd, Bach, Mozart, Faure, and others, performed so well.

Unearthly voices.......2005-12-07
I have long thought that Tallis is one of the best composers as his music if unfailingly enjoyable. This cd from the Tallis Scholars makes a very strong case for Thomas, and highlights the Scholars strengths as well.
The (incomplete) mass was probably written in 1554 on the occasion of Phillip II of Spain's visit to England to wed Queen Mary. Phillip had brought his Capilla Flamenca with him, so Tallis wrote this mass in a more continental style for their benefit. It is missing the characteristic high treble lines often associated with the English school, and compacts the seven voices into a relatively narrow range. The contrapuntal technique employed is fierce, with the cantus firmus in the tenor surrounded by a thick imitative texture.
Audivi vocem is a well known motet that is quite beautiful, while the Magnificat is a very early work from Tallis' youth, which is fairly straight forward.
The Marian antiphon Ave Dei patris is also an early work, but shows very clearly the brilliance of a young Tallis. It is more archaic sounding, obviously influenced by similar works by Fayrfax and Taverner. It is very English sounding with stratospheric treble parts ringing out over the other voices. This top line is sung by Ruth Holten and Deborah Roberts, and it is amazing that humans are able to make that pure ethereal sound. They blend together perfectly, and it is hard to believe it is two separate voices. Utterly gorgeous!!
Some people are not fond of the Tallis Scholars sometimes treble-heavy sound, but on this cd it is shown to great advantage. This is a recording well worth owning.

Go To Amazon.com/uk.......2006-02-23
Thank you Paul Schleuse. Your review is right on, and most importantly, I paid $113. (including shipping) from amazon.com/uk to Boston. Less than halk the price here.
Wonderful Set, but why pay this much?.......2005-07-30
This is a landmark set: the complete works of one of the most important composers of the 16th century, in performances of grace and clarity. However, you can get it for less than half of the US price by buying it at Amazon.co.uk. At GBP65.20, it works out to just over $100, or about $10 per disc--quite a bargain on a major addition to any serious early-music collection.

Tallis's seven-voice Christmas Mass "Puer natus est" (A boy is born), which until recently lacked huge portions of music (almost all of the Credo is still missing), is beautifully rendered here in a new reconstruction by longtime Tallis Scholar Sally Dunkley. This Mass, composed in a smooth, lush style full of sweet major chords, suits this choir well; their performance of it is their most enchanting work in quite some time. The other newly-reconstructed piece on this disc, "Ave Dei patris filia," is a lengthy prayer to the Virgin in typical English pre-Reformation style, with extended sections for two or three voices contrasting with sections for full five-voice choir (including spectacular high trebles); one couldn't ask for a more impressive re- introduction than the one here. --Matthew Westphal

Trust me on the work.......2000-06-30
I have other Tallis Scholars CDs but not yet this recording. But you can trust me on the Puer Natus Est: it is beyond glorious; there is hardly a word for it. I used to play my LP (by the Cler kes of Oxenford) the night before I'd go skydiving. If I got killed, I wanted this to be the last music I heard on earth. To my unlettered ears, this is Tallis' supreme achievement.
paradise.......1998-11-29
get transported by the divine serenity of this music, in the technical perfection of the Tallis scholars. Serenity and emotion. I usually don't believe in God but when i listen to this music, i have doubts.

Customer Reviews:
An essential boxed set of RVWs work.......2000-04-18
Originally, I was confused when I encountered this set, as it incorporates four formerly individual Nimbus releases, now deleted from their catalogue. Be warned, then, if you have Nimbus releases of 'An Oxford Elegy' (and other choral music), or of RVWs Chamber Music (including the 'Phantasy Quintet' and the 'String Quartet') - these are the same recordings!
That being said, if you don't have these titles, or you have them in another release, and you enjoy RVWs music, then you simply must add this anthology to your collection. These discs include the first recording of 'An Oxford Elegy' that I ever encountered; it is such a marvellous piece that you'll be scrambling for poetry anthologies to find bits of Matthew Arnold's 'Thyrsis' and 'The Scholar Gypsy' just to read along. 'Flos Campi' is a marvellous, almost impressionistic piece, which always brings an image of Roman legions marching slowly through Surrey to mind. The 'Phantasy Quintet' is exception, as is the 'String Quartet'. However, it is the recording of the 'Lark Ascending' (now sadly thieved by some cursèd auto manufacturer to flog their worthless vehicles) that is the high point of this, as it is of most, collections. Of course, I could be considered biased, as it is my all-time favourite piece of music. The collection is rounded out by, among others, the essential 'Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis' and an interesting selection of the Sacred and Secular songs, as well as three of RVWs Shakespeare treatments.
Nimbus recordings are first class, and under the skilled hand of William Boughton the English String Orchestra is incomparable. Words cannot bring to these works to the life that they have on hearing, whether first or repeated. They are absolutely something that must be experienced for themselves.
