Album Review
Palestrina's success with sacred polyphony led many to regard this astute worldly businessman and investor as a pious religious figure. However, holy or not, this is some freakin' awesome Renaissance music. Forget about your Latin conjugations and get lost in the airy heights of cathedral architecture, frescoes and stained glass.
