"For centuries the Lamentations of Jeremiah have inspired composers to write some of their most expressive music. In the renaissance a large number of polyphonic settings were written, but in comparison the number of settings in the baroque era is limited. Therefore this disc is very important as it presents a choice of pieces from the first half of the 17th century in Italy. All settings on this disc are from a manuscript which has been found in Bologna and which contains a number of settings by composers who worked in Rome. María-Cristina Kiehr has a wonderful voice, which is perfectly suited for this repertoire. She isn't overly dramatic, but that would be very inappropriate. This is not only one of the most interesting recordings of settings of the Lamentations from any period in music history, but also one of the most exciting, because of the repertoire and the performance."
