Victoria: Sacred Music

Victoria was an undisputable polyphony master, and the greatest figure of Spanish Renaissance. Pro Cantione Antiqua, the leading British choral ensemble of the 70s, recorded in 1977 this beautiful collection of Victoria’s major works. Featuring James Bowman and Ian Partridge,
