GRAMOPHONE CRITICS CHOICE - JAN 2002

"..a disc I have already enjoyed many times and plan to keep near me"

Gramophone
   

"I recommend it strongly"

Early Music Review September 2000

       

   


"Josquin is master of the notes, which must express what he desires, while other composers have to do what the notes dictate" So said Martin Luther of Europe's greatest 15/16th century composer.

Josquin’s music was in great demand during his own lifetime. His motets, masses and songs using both French and Italian texts crop up in literally hundreds of sources from the time. Josquin’s reputation was also spread widely through the new technology of the printing press, his pieces occurring in many 16th-century anthologies. His music continued to appear in print throughout the century, well after his death, a circumstance which was not only unusual but reinforces his position as a musical figurehead.

On this disc we celebrate the Songs and Instrumental Music by Josquin des Pres, and explore his influence  on his pupils and contemporaries.
