The title might make it sound a bit like a Danish death-metal album, but don’t be fooled: it’s a collection of music by the great Tudor composer John Taverner, one of the last of the composer of that period who still wrote in what could be called a late-Medieval style, characterized by extensive use of melisma and harmonies that still have those slight sawtooth edges that would later be smoothed out during the Reformation. As always, the singing by Alamire is outstanding.
