Jerusalem: Dixit Dominus

‘This is a very exciting disc indeed. We are hardly well-supplied with recordings of baroque music from Spain and Portugal, let alone South America. Chanticleer have selected two of the most significant Mexican composers active in the first half of the eighteenth century and, in performances of outstanding quality, show that they are not merely pale imitations of their European counterparts, but have something original to say and the craftsmanship with which to say it. Both composers are very well served indeed by this fine recording, which I unreservedly recommend as a breath of fresh air to anyone with the slightest interest in the baroque…’ Gramophone
