António Teixeira's extraordinary and grandly structured setting of the Te Deum was written for a New Year's Eve performance in 1734 in the Italian Church of his home city, Lisbon. Calling for eight soloists, five spaced choirs and a large orchestra, this lavish and ornate piece bubbles and sparkles through the text with a easy zest and breezy charm that is distinctively Portuguese, giving us a rare insight into musical life in Lisbon before the devastating earthquake of 1755.
"Continuously exhilarating." - The Financial Times
"A glittering performance of a neglected masterpiece." - BBC Music Magazine
"A real eye-opener that demands to be heard." Gramophone
