The fourty-second classical recording: #16 Giovanni Pierluigi de Palestrina - Missa Papae Marcelli
Masses haven't always gone over well listening to it, but here I feel they work out better than previous ones. As polyphony is explored further, we're getting more interesting mixes with more actual "instruments" in them. Here they work nicely together, flowing and creating something calming that we don't always get. There's more variation than in other masses and the work takes on its own identity more than we get in others.
