Cantate Domino CD - Sistine Chapel Choir

Recorded by kind permission of the Vatican, the first time a studio album has been recorded in the Sistine Chapel.
  • Sung by the Sistine Chapel Choir one of the longest established choirs in the world.
  • Directed by  Monsignor Massimo Palombella.
  • Total running time 59 minutes.
  • Deutsche Grammophon publication.

The landmark new album, Cantate Domino, captures the sounds of this extraordinary acoustic, with music performed by the Pope’s own choir.

The album  includes music written for the Sistine Chapel Choir by Palestrina, Lassus and Victoria during the Renaissance.

There are also two pieces of Gregorian chant, alongside world premiere recordings of the original version of Allegri’s fabled Miserere (Sistine Codex of 1661) and a Nunc dimittis attributed to Palestrina which is still used during papal celebrations.
