(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was drawn to this disc through an esteem for the work of Jean Tubery (cornetto) and his group La Fenice. They do play splendidly on this disc, and join Ensemble Akademia in some of the most striking music of Heinrich Schütz.
Ensemble Akademia sings with precision and drama in several motets and in the central work, the Musicalische Exequien. Highlights include a vigorous reading of 'Saul, Saul was verfolgst du mich?' and moving introsepction in 'Selig sind die Toten' ( fitting counterpart to the Exequien, in which this text features). The solo contributions are perfectly sung; Hans Jörg Mammel is eloquent in 'Mit dem Amphion zwar', but Phillipe Roche's singing of 'Fili mi Absalon' is exemplary and puts Richard Wistreich and His Majesty's Sagbutts and Cornetts to shame.
The Exequien is less satisfactory on the whole; Phillipe Herreweghe and La Chapelle Royale are possibly more colourless in this work, but their sense of the monumental nature of this piece is more satisfying."
