After a healthy run on the Conifer label in the late '80s and mid-'90s with recordings of composers from Purcell to Poulenc, Richard Marlow and his Trinity College Choir, Cambridge, switched to Chandos in the late '90s. Unfortunately, Chandos chose not to release Marlow and the Choir's recordings at that time, but only years later. They were recorded in 1999 and the Duruflé disc came out in 2005, the Mendelssohn disc came out in 2006, and this Palestrina disc came out in early 2007. For fans of Marlow and the Choir who knew and loved their earlier recordings, this was a crying shame. Their clear, warm, and balanced performances of Purcell and Poulenc -- along with Bach, Brahms, and Stravinsky -- showed them to be a superb small mixed choir, and making their fans wait years between releases was intensely frustrating. Fortunately, the wait proved well worth it because like their Duruflé and Mendelssohn discs, Marlow and the Choir's disc of Palestrina is magnificent. Recording the Renaissance master's 25 motet settings of Offertory hymns was an excellent idea -- there are no other comparable collections available -- grouping them by mode was a terrific idea -- the progression from the Dorian to the Hypomixolydian is strangely compelling -- and performing them with expressive elegance and spiritual intensity was a great idea -- the interpretations here are consistently gripping and completely moving. One can only hope that Chandos has more recordings like this in the vaults and that they are released in short order. Chandos' recording, made in the Chapel of Trinity College, is rich, deep, and full.
