"A striking debut for a young Italian ensemble that places the bar very high. The ensemble is one to watch out for: its blend is full and focused, yet softly rounded; and the individual voices are of similar quality." -GRAMOPHONE
The music of Josquin Desprez (1455-1521) has been likened to a symbolic cathedral from which emerge not only his masterly organization and moving inspiration, but also glimpses of his personality and ideas concerning man and God. He is one of the most eminent of all early Western composers and this is a significant addition to his discography. Previous recording was a Gramophone Critic’s Choice 2004.
