Cupertinos / Luis Toscano - Cristo: Magnificat, Marian Antiphons & Missa Salve regina

A third Hyperion release from this top-notch Portuguese choir maintains the exceptional standards already set by the first two.This collection of sacred music by Pedro de Cristo includes five first recordings and marks an important addition to the composer's burgeoning discography.

Directed by tenor Lu�s Toscano, Cupertinos is highly responsive to Lobo's subtly varied settings which, in turn, reflect the nuances of text and liturgy...Throughout, the ensemble's candid, unwavering sound, chiselled diction and incisive articulation reveal Lobo's masterly contrapuntal writing.
