Sacred Vocal Music (Selected)

Emma Kirkby, Ian Partridge, David Thomas / Roy Goodman, Peter Holman / The Parley of Instruments

1981

Top choice. A gorgeous and 'seductive' disc of solo sacred music. Features 'immaculate singing'—Kirkby is 'crystalline as ever,' Partridge matches her purity, and Thomas has a strong, secure, and flexible bass.
