Lamentations and the Passion Sixteenth in a series of 28 programmes devised and introduced by Basil Lam
Many settings of these texts retained close associations with the chant during the Renaissance. Today's programme includes excerpts from the once famous Lamentations of Carpentras, which were regularly performed by the papal choir until displaced by those of Palestrina, and part of the very early St Luke Passion by an unknown English composer. TIMOTHY PENROSE (counter-tenor) IAN PARTRIDGE (tenor) PAUL ELLIOT (tenor)
MICHAEL MORTON (baritone) DAVID THOMAS (baSS) directed by BASIL LAM
