Between 1997 and 2001 Musica Contexta recorded Palestrinas music for Holy Week in three highly acclaimed discs for Chandos. Consisting mostly of previously unrecorded music, the series was unanimously acclaimed as revelatory by critics. Palestrina at his most expressive I can recommend the whole set without reservation. (Jeremy Summerly, BBC Radio 3) Remarkable for its beauty and devotion beautifully performed and recorded a deeply satisfying whole. Five stars. (Classic CD) Powerfully expressive performances marked by subtle dynamic shading, great sensitivity of phrasing and near-faultless ensemble how could anyone call this music austere? (International Record Review) The all-adult male choir is perfectly suited to this music of desolation not quite the unemotional Palestrina you thought you knew. (Daily Telegraph)
