User Rating:, 0 Poor Best. The talents of the Hilliard Ensemble performed Josquins music with a passion and energy that was evident during slowest and darkest of songs. The fluidity and vocal perfection in each song showed the listener the careful thought the Hilliard Ensemble put in placing each note and coloring each texture. TITLE added to MP3 cart. February 2, 2004. The album clearly merits five stars and I have no qualms recommending it. I did find, however, that my own tastes in Renaissance polyphony have been conditioned to more readily embrace sopranos than countertenors, despite the beauty of the countertenor voice here. The motets are performed by four voices, just as Josquin wrote them. The Hilliard Ensemble includes two tenors, a countertenor and a baritone. Outstanding performances I was very pleased to become acquainted with. The Hilliard Ensemble, under Paul Hillier, had an extensive discography with EMI's Reflexe early music series during the 1980s. The ensemble then recorded mainly for the ECM label. They also performed three pieces by Guillaume Dufay: Moribus et genere, Vergene bella and Lamentatio sanctae matris ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae. On 15 November 2010 the group appeared at Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York to perform Kjartan Sveinsson's Cage a Swallow Cant You but You Cant Swallow a Cage. 1983: Josquin Desprez: Motets and chansons EMI Reflexe CDC 7 49209 2. 1983: Schütz: Matthäus-Passion EMI Reflexe CDC 7 49200 2.
