CD Reviews

Absolutely superb Renaissance music!!
Bruce Bogin | rural France | 12/06/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I came to this CD as a result of hearing that the music of Jacobus Vaet 1529-1567 was worth a listen. It is that and more. The ensemble CINQUECENTO is new. It consists of two countertenors, two tenors, a baritone and a bass. I can only say that they compare very favorably with any group singing Renaissance music. All of the eight pieces, of which five are by Vaet, are excellent, but for me the unadvertised special is the longest piece, a mass by Antonius Galli d1565. This is absolutely superb music expertly rendered by CINQUECENTO. It is a pity that we do not have more recorded music by Vaet and by Galli. I urge all those who love Renaissance music to invest in this CD."
