Boxgrove Priory’s acoustics are particularly good for renaissance polyphony. Last time, we sang a masterpiece from England. This time, it’s the turn of the Spanish school, and what a wealth of exquisite music there is to choose from!
This performance is the first to use a brand new critical edition of the Victoria by Italian scholar Enrico Correggia.
This event is generously supported by Angel Early Music, with our grateful thanks.
