Allegri - Miserere

Exquisitely sung disc, with a mix of old favorites and some lesser-known works. The choir seems especially well suited to the quieter, more reflective works, such as "God be in my head" and "Shepherd's Farewell". I was. however, very disappointed with the more rousing works, particularly "Jerusalem" and "Old Hundredth", which on this disc are given very matter-of-fact, verging on moribund, treatments at inordinately slow tempi. Most enjoyable otherwise.
