Media Vita & Other Liturgical Works - Stile Antico (Hybrid SACD)

For its fourth recording, Stile Antico spotlights the work of the great Tudor master John Sheppard. Once overshadowed by his illustrious contemporary Thomas Tallis, Sheppard is now recognized as a composer of extraordinary originality. The centerpiece of this program is the great antiphon Media Vita; a reflection on the frailty of human life and the hope for salvation.
