Few can argue with Tenebrae's international stature as one of the most competent, versatile, exciting and passionate vocal ensembles in the world today.
The beauty of Tenebrae's perfectly blended sound coupled with near-flawless technique is showcased in this recording, featuring a selection of their favourite concert repertoire to create a performance worthy of anyone's collection.
Allegri's haunting Miserere is the central point in a journey through music of longing and entreaty, hope and faith. These works spanning the centuries are chosen from the heart of Tenebrae's concert repertoire.

Barry Witherden, Gramophone
" ... vibrant and incisive"
International Record Review
"Nigel Short and Tenebrae have just the right balance of control and passion, reverence and exuberance that makes for such a superb performance"
The Organ
"The disc ends with that locus classicus of English choral singing, Faire is the Heaven, in which one would be forgiven for thinking Spenser's final words,'such endlesse perfectnesse' refer to the choir themselves rather than the state of Heaven"
BBC Music Magazine
"I really think we're in a choral golden age at the moment ... It's beautifully sung, a wonderful disc"
BBC Music Magazine
"Another winner from Teneberae!"
