Cinquecento’s first disc for Hyperion (Music for the Court of Maximilian II CDA67579) was acclaimed as ‘a revelatory disc’
and ‘an outstanding debut recording’. Their supple, mellifluous, expressive singing was particularly praised: ‘Their voices are young, lithe, pure in intonation and warm in timbre—in short, ideal for interpreting Renaissance polyphony’ (International Record Review).

Their eagerly awaited second release presents the music of Jacob Regnart (c1540–1599) and continues their exploration
of the rich repertoire which was engendered in the Hapsburg court. The centrepiece of this disc is the splendid Missa Super Oeniades Nymphae, an expansive and elaborate setting for six voices. Also included are two state motets and six sacred pieces, which demonstrate the extraordinary musical and emotional range of Regnart’s work.

‘Cinquecento is an all-male vocal ensemble with members drawn from five European countries … their phrasing is supple, mellifluous and understated, while always alert to the musical rhetoric … no lover of Renaissance polyphony should overlook this outstanding début recording’
(International Record Review)

‘From this showing, Cinquecento would be well placed to advocate Vaet further. An all-male a cappella ensemble, they
sound clear and bright, and articulate the music lucidly’
