Byrd: Mass for five voices; Choral works The Gesualdo Six/Owain Park Hyperion CDA68416 (CD, 2023). Adrian Peacock, prod.; David Hinitt, eng. Performance Sonics Those who, like me, hauled ourselves through college music courses will remember being told that the Byrd Mass for five voices is a masterpiece, a claim soon belied when we were played a performance by some desiccated, monochromatic chorus. Had a recording like the new one by The Gesualdo Six been played instead, we might have agreed more readily with the academic judgment.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra are very much at home with the Russian composer, while the Gesualdo Six mine the full expressive power of Byrd’s clandestine works
