About this product
With the present recording, I continue exploration of the musical culture of central Europe in the 15th and early 16th century, first focused on un-known Flemish composer Johannes Tourout exclusively, now I enlarge the repertoire of his contemporaries Gaspar van Weerbeke and Heinrich Isaac. The structure of the program is following several aspects of this period Flemish musicians played a central role in the composition and performance of art music and the reception by unknown local authors is very eclectic. The Inchgrey zoneInch of Anonymous repertoire is hiding real gems of polyphonic composition which aren't discovered yet. Another important phenomenon are compositions substituting original texts with new ones to repurposed them to fit in liturgical context, as it is the case of French chansons - the real hits of late medieval and early modern Europe. Again this recording was very intensive and thrilling musical discovery of richness of Franco-Flemish polyphony in Central Europe region.

The work of Philippus de Monte, a renowned composer of the 16th century and master of the imperial chapel of the Habsburgs, includes over 800 Italian madrigals, French songs, approximately 40 masses, and 250 motets. This present recording is dedicated to the spiritual madrigal, a unique blend of secular and sacred music that Monte helped popularize. The interpretation by the superb singers of Cappella Mariana allows us to appreciate the musical arsenal deployed by Monte in the spiritual madrigals and the absolute beauty of these works from the late 16th century.

This exquisite recording finds one of the most gifted percussionists in Latin music today working in what is perhaps his true element - the Santeria liturgy. The spiritual power of this Afro-Caribbean religious ceremony, sung in Yoruba to the accompaniment of a three-man percussion bata is awesome, but it is the intense articulation of rhythm that makes this music so devastating, incredible. -JD Considine, Musician Magazine InchA wonderful album - absorbing, mesmerizing, beautiful and fun, graceful and sensual. It draws ou into a space and reality all it's own, with a mood and flow quite distant from the everyday and yet hauntingly familiar. I found myself playing it over and over...Inch - City Paper (Washington DC) InchIs a stone soul picnic, so party down.
