Sublime, magnificent church music by one of the greatest composers of the Renaissance. Often imitated, but never bettered, the calm grandeur of his motets for four, five, or even eight voices has inspired generations of listeners, who have sought out his music's mellifluous perfection. Recorded by Magdala in sumptuous Oxford acoustics, this album is a sonic and musical delight.
