This Hyperion issue is another sure fire winner from Andrew Carwood and his outstanding choir, taking further their Tallis edition, that will ultimately record all of this great British polyphonist’s known works. This typically generous 77-minute album, focuses on Tallis's 40 part motet, Spem In Alium, and you get two versions here; the Latin one, most of us know, and a rare English texted version, Sing and Glorify. Room is also found for more than a dozen other shorter works, and anyone who loves to wallow in the Great British choral tradition should not hesitate. I sense this could well be a potential award winner.
