Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Wiener Motettenchor, Bernhard Klebel - Musica Vaticana 1

Review by Nemo Spleen

Musica Vaticana 1, the album by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Wiener Motettenchor, and Bernhard Klebel, is an outstanding collection of sacred choral music. The album features some of Palestrina's most celebrated works, including the Missa Papae Marcelli and the Ave Maria. The Wiener Motettenchor's performance is impeccable, with each voice blending seamlessly with the others to create a rich and harmonious sound. The choir's interpretation of Palestrina's music is faithful to the composer's intentions, highlighting the beauty and complexity of his compositions. Bernhard Klebel's direction is masterful, guiding the choir with precision and bringing out the nuances of each piece. Musica Vaticana 1 is a must-have for fans of Renaissance choral music and a testament to Palestrina's genius.
