William Cornysh: Latin Church Music
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Few of Cornysh's works survive, so the selection here largely mirrors that on the Tallis Scholars' Cornysh record. Carwood and Skinner don't include the Stabat mater (which survives in its incomplete form and requires reconstruction), but they do include the only surviving Magnificats (both ca. 1500) by Edmund Turges and Henry Prentes. The Prentes, clearly modeled on Cornysh's setting (which it matches verse-for-verse in scoring), is a real find. Carwood's tempos are, as usual, slightly slower than Phillips's. On his other discs this seems like sluggishness, but here the rhythms and runs are all the more impressive for not skittering past quite so quickly. Carwood also refrains (unlike Phillips) from transposing the music up unnecessarily. None of this matters in the end, though--you should really have both discs. --Matthew Westphal
