Editorial Reviews

No amount of discussion or written description is adequate to explain the unadulterated beauty of Josquin's motet "Inviolata, integra et casta es, Maria" or the "Stabat Mater Dolorosa," the first two tracks on this exceptional, must-have recording. There's no question, once you hear it, about why Josquin was such a dominant musical presence during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Nor is there any doubt, once you hear it, as to why the Choir of New College should be your choir of choice for interpreting Josquin's elegant, soaring melodies and rich, lustrous harmonies. Those angelic, perfectly tuned trebles sing this like no one else, and the acoustic is just resonant enough to let all the voices blend and blossom while retaining clarity of each line. --David Vernier
