1.Ikon by: Sixteen April 03, 2006

It has to be said that there is little more versatile as the human voice as an instrument. This proves the point beyond measure. Clarity, emotion and total respect for the piece are in abundance throughout the album. Wonderful.

2.Allegri - Miserere; Lotti - Crucifixus; Palestrina - Stabat Mater Dolorosa from: Coro May 05, 2003

Allegri's Miserere is given the top billing on this disc, perhaps because of some celebrated special effects, explained in the liner notes, that it contains. The first track is devoted to a sombre and beautiful Crucifixus (from the Nicene Creed) by one Lotti, an older contemporary of Bach. Admirable and compelling, both of these, but what I bought this disc for was the two items by Palestrina, his Stabat Mater and the celestial Missa Papae Marcelli. It is not just the quality of the early music specialists these days but the sheer profusion of them that continues to astonish me. I looked through the list of singers (18, not 16) and while I did not recognise most of the names offhand that may simply be because I did not investigate ... Read More:

3.Christmas Music from Medieval and Renaissance Europe from: Hyperion July 01, 1994

This is now the 11th Christmas that this music has been part of the tradition of my holiday season, and although I've acquired numerous other holiday music collections over the years, this far surpasses any other collection that I own. It is difficult to do justice to this music by describing it in mere words. The collection ranges from the 14th to the 16th Century, and is unlike any other collection of Christmas music available. It evokes the true spirit of the Christmas season, is enlightening, inspirational, and transports the listener far from the trite elements of the 'modern' holiday season. No other choral group can compare to the Harry Christophers The Sixteen (named such as the group consists of four treble/mean, four alto, ... Read More:

I was present at the live concert at the Barbican in August 2007 when this was recorded. It was probably the best concert ever attended, and the recording shows this in it's energy, yet passionate and sensitive qualities.Harry Christoper ,The Sixteen and the Academy of St martin's in the field have produced a superb C.D..

7.John Tavener - A Portrait by: Bjork February 02, 2004

This is the John Tavener born in the 1940's, not the John Taverner (with an `R') of the 1490's. Their music is quite different, so the mistaken identity will only be made once in terms of CD purchases. John Tavener was born in London in 1944, hence this double CD of his popular works being released in 2004 to mark his 60h birthday. Much of the music here is short pieces from the full works so gives a good overview to the newcomer, to whom this is directed, of the style of music produced by the composer. The range of music is varied, at times startlingly so, from the freestyle and unpredictable `Mandelion for organ' to the slightly eerie `Prayer of the Heart' with the subtle string playing of the Brodsky quartet played ...

8.Renaissance - Music For Inner Peace by: The Sixteen Harry Christophers September 27, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £17.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.98 You Save: £6.01 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £11.63
This is a lovely double CD, very relaxing and inspirational, with a diverse and well-chosen repertoire of music. The Sixteen always deliver a deliciously nerve-tingling and evocative performance, exemplified by their rendition of Allegri's "Miserere", (my favourite version of this piece). Anyone seeking "inner peace" will not be disappointed by this CD!

9.The Eton Choirbook Collection: the Rose and the Ostrich Feather/Crown of Thorns/Pillars of Eternity/Flower of All Virginity/Voices of Angels by: Sixteen October 02, 2006

This is a wonderful collection of English 15th century sacred music from the Eton Choirbook, a manuscript that survived Henry VIII's ransacking of the monasteries during the Reformation. The Sixteen give accomplished and effortless yet moving performances on this set of 5 CDs - truly glorious and inspiring!
