The Sixteen selection (CD Review Nov92) [OGG]

I'd not normally upload coverdiscs, but there are a few gems on this CD.

Track 2 is a recording of a motet for 13 tenors, sung as a round. I'm not sure whether it is an artefact of the recording or as a result of the acoustics but, at eg. 2:45 when all voices come together, one could swear there are more than tenors singing.

Track 10 is from a little-known longer work (which happens to have been uploaded by someone else already to TPB - https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4591880/ ). I recommend the full CD to everyone, as each section is different to the next: a sparkling mix of polyphony, baroque and opera.

Tracks 3,12,13 should also be in anyone's collection, and most of the rest is well-known too.
