Editorial Review:
Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783) composed during the transitional period between the Baroque and Classical eras. In 1757 he was appointed Choirmaster of San Lorenzo Cathedral and composed numerous works for his choir. The two "Miserere's" on this recording are both settings of Psalm 50. "Miserere a 8" is scored for three vocal soloists (soprano, mezzo-soprano, baritone), double choir, and orchestra (with organ). "Miserere a 12" is scored for vocal quartet, double choir, and continuo (organ, cello, double-bass).

About the Composer:
Antonio Francisco Javier José Soler Ramos, usually known as Padre ('Father', in the religious sense) Antonio Soler, known in Catalan as Antoni Soler i Ramos (baptized 3 December 1729 – died 20 December 1783) was a Spanish composer whose works span the late Baroque and early Classical music eras. He is best known for his many mostly one-movement keyboard sonatas strongly influenced by Domenico Scarlatti, which constitute a very important, quite underrated, contribution to the harpsichord, fortepiano and organ repertoire.
