Pergolesi’s Salve regina hardly needs rescuing from obscurity but another Tactus disc devoted to Neapolitan sacred music from the 1700s presents a welcome opportunity to hear an intimately scaled performance, set alongside choral Miserere settings by Leo and Jommelli. Jommelli’s G minor setting for five-part choir and continuo is an impressive piece hitherto unknown to me, but Leo’s setting has been recorded in good performances before (notably by Ensemble William Byrd on Naïve). In comparison, Gruppo Vocale Cantemus sound woolly, and the throatiness of its members seems unwieldy, but it is good to be reminded of music that Wagner admired when he heard it at Naples in 1880.
