Cardoso - Requiem

‘[Cardoso's] Requiem is a compelling work, especially when sung with this degree of commitment. It’s a quality that shines throughout the recording. The selection of motets is very satisfying … this is the first recording by Cupertinos for Hyperion and it is a pleasure to have a Portuguese ensemble tackle its native repertory’ (Gramophone)

‘Dubbed 'the national team of Portuguese polyphony', Cupertinos' debut disc showcases their fellow countryman Manuel Cardoso (1566-1650). Beautifully sung by unaccompanied voices, this programme of devotional music is built around the contemplative Requiem’ (BBC Music Magazine)
