Recorded at Notre Dame du Liban, Paris, this recording has a
larger acoustic than the one for I Fagiolini at All Saints Tooting. Whilst both
Hervé Niquet and Robert Hollingworth approach the work with a similar layout of
voices and instruments the resulting sound is quite different.
The couplings on this new CD are also different, with Le
Concert Spirituel keeping to other works by Striggio and works by Orazio
Benevoli and his contemporary in
Florence Francesco Corteccia.
Which one to buy will very much depend on the couplings but
early music lovers will probably want both.
