Excerpts:
[3]-[4] Astrée (Auvidis) E 8552 [CD] La musique au temps des Castrats - Music from the age of Castratos

This recording includes two performances of the famous Miserere, one using an ornamentation style of Allegri's era, and one using the more easily documented 18th century Baroque style. The latter is a viable choice because this piece continued to be sung in the Sistine Chapel for some time after Allegri's death.

The motets are in 3 & 4 parts and include a basso continuo.
