Our June Spotify playlist features I Fagiolini's latest recording, with two multi-choir masses by Orazio Benevoli (1605-72), from mid-17th-century Rome (one for Easter, the other one based on Palestrina's motet for Pentecost).

They complete I Fagiolini's dazzling series exploring the ‘Colossal Baroque’ and tribute to the 'lost' music of Orazio Benevoli.

Maestro of the Ca****la Giulia at St Peter's, Rome, Benevoli's mastery of surround-sound is clear in these very different works. The sheer quality of his music shines through and changes our view of 17th-century multi-choir music.

Have a listen!
