The latest instalment of works by Josquin des Prés by the Tallis Scholars

'This is the seventh of nine projected discs in The Tallis Scholars' ongoing endeavour to record the complete Masses of Josquin des Prés. Using just nine singers gives an intimacy to these readings and ensures clear-cut words and sharply delineated vocal lines.

'The vocal balance is sensitively judged, and Gimell's recording - in the chapel of Merton College, Oxford. is lush without being overly splashy.'
