To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of Francisco Guerrero, Michael Noone conducted the Orchestra of the Renaissance in this recording of the composer’s 1582 Requiem, in a liturgical reconstruction performed as it might have been at Guerrero’s own funeral in Seville Cathedral in November 1599. This was quickly followed by three more award winning recordings for Glossa in which Michael again conducted the vocal and instrumental forces of the Orchestra of the Renaissance. The singing is superb.

A liturgical reconstruction of Guerrero's requiem and burial services. Voices and instruments combine, as was usual in Seville Cathedral, and are nicely balanced. Phrasing occasionally oddly breathless (Pater noster) and clunky (Offertory).
