I'm surprised there were not half a dozen baroque guitars strumming along.
Well perhaps there were - they just didn't mention them in the blurb.

Whoops, meant to say 1566, not 1599. And well, perhaps I Fagiolini was
trying to outdo Mahler's 8th ('Symphony of a Thousand'). Given the
opportunity, I'd like to hear it (Striggio) live with voices only.

The mass has been performed before but not recorded I think. The main
attrction is that it is in 40 parts. I rather doubt whether there were
lots of lutes taking part in the 16th century. Wishful thinking. No
cloud machines either. Where do they get these ideas from?

Perhaps it's been discussed here - the Striggio 40 part mass - though I
haven't seen it. For a look at how it was recently uncovered and
recorded, see: http://tinyurl.com/4d9rthp
There are also some youTube videos of it being performed/recorded
showing
many lutenists among the band.
