4 AV 5 MÖJLIGA I BETYG I GÖTEBORGS-POSTEN

"Josquin des Prés, den franske renässansgiganten, skrev sina mässor för bara röst. På det teoretiska planet är det djupt genomtänkt och matematisk musik där profana chansonmelodier byggs på i olika långa loopar.
I sällskap med Tallis Scholars blir den här musiken ett enda röstsvall där stämmorna överlappar varandra i en ändlös melodi. Missa till exempel inte mansduetten i Missa Malheur me bats Agnus dei-sats. Allra finast är Josquin när sångarna får ta små danssteg i sina stämmor."
(Göteborgs-Posten)

The Tallis Scholars have been performing the music of Josquin regularly in concert for over 20 years. Their 1986 CD of his music remains the only recording of Early Music to have won the Gramophone Record of the Year Award. This new release is the fourth CD in The Tallis Scholars' projected Complete Josquin Mass Cycle.

"It has recently become a favourite intellectual game to compare Josquin's career with that of Beethoven. Essentially the point is that Josquin was as influential a composer in his time as Beethoven was in his; but the subplot is that Josquin ought to be taken as seriously as any later composer even though he lived so long ago and only wrote for voices. These Mass-settings are two of the finest to come from any pen."
