Author:
Like Wulstan, Phillips has paired Spem in alium with another of Tallis's largest and most celebrated works, Gaude gloriosa Dei mater. Here the texture is absolutely crystal, with verse sections sung by solo voices, and again the music has been paced with great care. Although to my mind it does not quite achieve the breadth and ecstacy of the performance sung by the choir of New College, Oxford, under Edward Higginbottom on CRD (CRD1129, 7/85), Phillips's version is certainly highly accomplished; and the same must be said of the readings of the five shorter pieces that complete the record. What a fitting tribute this is to Tallis in his centenary year. No one who cares for Tudor choral music should be without it. Opt for CD if you have the choice, though the quality of the LP is also very good indeed.'
