Exquisite. Magical recording of some of Victoria's motets, antiphons and parts of masses transcribed for one Countertenor Voice, Lute & Cornet (1). Five works on this recording have been transcribed for solo lute without voice accompaniment. Victoria's music is most sublime in these transcribed works which function as miniature chamber music pieces as compared to his larger choral & organ works. The religious "churchy" quality usually found in Victoria's music is not present here in this recording, as a result of these transcriptions and reductions of the vocal polyphony for plucked instrument (lute) and cornet. This recording is sung by the countertenor Carlos Mena to the accompaniment of lute playing by Juan Carlos Rivera, and the cornet played by Francesco Gallego. The small chamber music quality of these choral works creates performances where the inner tonal light of Victora's music shines out even more than it does in Victoria's grand polyphonic works. Extremely beautiful.
