VICTORIA PAINTS HIS OWN UNIQUE SOUND PICTURE!
Among the composers of his time Victoria holds a singular position in having solely composed liturgical music set to Latin texts. For this reason,perhaps,the interpretation of his works has remained the province of choirs and vocal ensembles. However,he was also a pioneer in the use of instruments, such as the organ for the purpose of accompanying. His polyphonic musical pieces gave an inspiration to transcribers beyond the frontiers of Spain who adapted them for lute and solo voice.
The music of Victoria appears to us with some different colors to those which come through in typical vocal performances, such as when the lighting of a painting is altered. His music comes forward with more intimacy and has a chamber feel to it. One may appreciate Victoria more for his motets and responsories rather than for his masses and great antiphons.
When I first heard this disc I was transported to some ecstatic realm and remained there till it was over. I think the voice of Carlos Mena was basically responsible, but the sound of the vihuela played expertly by Jaun Carlos Rivera certainly assisted in my transportation. This is just beautiful music for the sensitive soul!!!!!
