"This is the seventh volume of works by Palestrina produced by The Sixteen since 2011. Each recording brings his vast output in focus ... Her the subject is pious women - the Virgin, Susanna, St Barbara, and others ... These are experienced and accomplished performers, and they employ devices such as dynamic shading either to reflect the character of a piece (subdued tones in the petition to Beata Maria Magdalenas), or to make a contrast between sections (as in the Mass) ... As always with The Sixteen we get a warm, confident, and atmospheric sound".
