Perhaps better than any other composer in early 16th-century Spain, Peñalosa combined artistic imagination with unadorned spirituality to produce works of striking simplicity and remarkable expressive power. Although the Westminster Cathedral Choir makes a compelling case for the importance of Peñalosa's music, the recording projects an unusually bright sound that overly highlights the trebles and contributes an edginess to the choral tone. --David Vernier
