Programme devoted to Marian works by Victoria -( late C16 Spanish ,with stint in Rome) Contemporary of El Greco, though not known if they ever met- almost certainly new of each others work.
Top quality performance that you can just relax into.
Attempt to viualise in terms of colour/ pattern. Cathedral provides large, symbolic space. Dark shadows and recesses contrasted with warm yellow light. Backdrop to well saturated colours?
Struggle to visualise as a painting
- Perhaps best as crayon drawing on dark,warm, neutral paper. Polyphony provides a series of clear pulses of sound, high notes soaring way up into the mysterious darknness.
- Rich, saturated lower notes/ colours, lightening as they ascend
