Voices of Connection: 08/18 Palestrina: Alma Redemptoris Mater

Today’s exquisite piece is the opening track on our very first CD and has been performed by us since then as one of our signature pieces. It is indeed a special work, about as simple as you can get. But, at the same time, it is imbued with amazing refinement, balance, serenity and transcendence. It reminds me of those magnificent Madonna and Child paintings of Raphael.
