Alleluia Nativitas

 

"The Orlando Consort's gusto is irresistible. You will be rewarded by this intelligent anthology, which no collector of early music can afford to miss"
—American Record Guide

"La grand qualité de l'interprétation vient avant tout de soin extrême apporté à la vitalité interne des compositions: choix de tempos allants, pureté et la précision de la diction, égalité des voix, technique parfaite d'échange de lignes mélodiques........ L'austérité que l'on craint souvent... devient ici authenticité religieuse, dont la modernité est intrinsiquement liée à la simplicité de l'exécution, et à la fusion totale des quatres chanteurs. Remarquable."

What am I listening to?

You are listening to a commemorative motet, ‘Quis dabit capiti meo aquam’, by the composer, Heinrich Isaac (c1450-1517). Specifically, you will hear the last of the four sections of this beautiful piece, a lament on the death of Lorenzo de’ Medici in April 1492. It is one track from our latest disk, The Florentine Renaissance, produced by Hyperion records (DA68349), a rich and varied selection of secular and sacred music, an aural collage of the vibrant city of Florence in the early Renaissance.
