EARLIEST AND STILL THE BEST REPRESENTATION OF JOSQUIN BY THE MEDIEVAL ENSEMBLE OF LONDON!
The Medieval Ensemble of London, although a short-lived group, came out with their first recording in 1981; their last in 1985, and this recording of Josquin was their penultimate recording. At no point in their career did this group compromise scholarly standards. One of the refreshing features of their work was that they simply let the music speak for itself; this was partly a reaction against the more colourful performances of the years around 1970.
In this record of 'Josquin Masses' Peter and Timothy Davies made use of the latest scholarly evidence on the make-up of late-fifteenth-century ensembles; no instruments, but just nine FABULOUS voices, all grown men, with slightly more on the top line than on the others. The very best voices were chosen, experienced in this type of repertory from the like of Rogers Covey-Crump and Charles Brett, to the young newcomer Michael Chance (who sings the lead countertenor most of the time). The sheer sound here certainly reflects the luxury casting.
THESE MARVELOUS MUSICIANS JUST ALLOW THE MUSIC TO SPEAK, SHAPING IT WITH THEIR AWESOME ACCUMULATION OF COMBINED ARTSTRY. Wonderful listening; it absolutely thrilled me! And I certainly plan on locating some of their other discs.
