Sacco: Missa 1607 |
| CV 83.191/00 | | | Only one collection of sacred music from 1607 by the Italian composer Salvatore Sacco, presumably a student by Palestrina, has been handed down to us. The recording presents the majority of these works within a framework of a reconstruction of a liturgy for a Marian feast. The reconstruction is based on a thorough study of liturgical and musical practice of the period which has made it possible to place the surviving works of Sacco into their historical context – during the time when the polyphonic style of the Roman school had attained its zenith.
A rewarding encounter with this unjustly forgotten master of vocal polyphony from Roman school in a warm, elegant, sonorous interpretation by the Italian ensemble Templum Musicae under the direction of Vincenzo Di Donato. | | | | | | | | | Conductor: | Vincenzo di Donato | | Ensemble: | Templum Musicae | | Soloist - organ: | Francesco di Lernia3, 9 | | genres: Free organ music, Litanies, Masses, Latin |
