    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......2002-02-03

    This is a fabulous recording, and not only because it features works of my favorite Renaissance composer, Josquin Desprez. Also featured are gorgeous pieces by other Renaissance masters, including the most beautiful version of Allegri's "Miserere Mei" I have ever heard; it is a scholarly version, not the standard version one usually hears featuring that soaring high C. I certainly do love the standard version (the recording of St. Paul's Cathedral Choir with Jeremy Budd as the treble soloist is magnificent), but the A Sei Voci version brings a new freshness to the piece that I can't help but to slightly prefer. In particular, the soprano has a lovely tone and sings some soul-stirring melodies above the lower voices.

    A Sei Voci is obviously a world-class ensemble. The quality of singing is solid throughout and the music itself is beautiful, even haunting at times. The premise behind the selection of music -- each piece culled from a separate work and put toegther to form one mass -- is interesting, and I think they chose wisely. If you like Renaissance choral music and the sound of a small vocal ensemble, add this recording to your collection. I also highly recommend their recording of Josquin Desprez' "Missa de Beata Virgine", which includes the mass as well as a number of lovely motets.

      5 out of 5 stars Simply the best Josquin yet.......2003-07-17

      It has been said that America is something of a cultural backwater as far as classical (early) music is concerned. Well, hats off to Pomerium, this is one of the finest early music releases to come out of North America. And just in time, since many recent Josquin recordings are starting to sound much the same. Firstly, Pomerium's choice of repertoire is outstanding. The CD is a sampler of sorts, but I like the fact that a full mass is included (one of Josquin's best, up there with l'homme arme and Pange lingua; this is the only way to really appreciate a composition like this - just try judging Mendelssohn's E minor by the second movement alone...), instead of a collection of bits and pieces (such as 'une messe imaginaire' - A Sei Voci, and many others). Equally important are the interpretations. The mass is simply the best there is to be found, and the chansons do not lag far behind (I do recommend in addition, however, Josquin's chansons by ensemble Clement Janequin...). The motets are stunning, solid performances (though Herreweghe is still the undisputed master of this genre). Less important but nevertheless significant are the liner notes - concise and professional, a pleasure to read.
      All in all, this is some outstanding Josquin, the best you can buy nowadays. Highly recommended.
