"The English composer Thomas Weelkes (1576-1623), organist at Winchester College and Chichester Cathedral, deserves maximum celebration in his anniversary year ... The excellent Irish vocal group Resurgam have added to the discography with 'Gentleman Extraordinary', with Silas Wollston (organ; listen for the hand-operated bellows), directed by Mark Duley. Anthems and three versions of the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis are interspersed with pavans and fantasias, played with sombre vigour by the English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble. Of the anthems, try Alleluia, I Heard a Voice or Hosanna to the Son of David to discover Weelkes's distinctive brilliance, expertly displayed here".
