Recorded at Chiesa della B.V. Maria del Monte Carmelo al Colletto, Italy, in May, June and August 2007 and April 2008. After completing their original trilogy devoted to Guillaume Dufay (two volumes of motets and one of chansons) and before setting out on their next large-scale project, Giuseppe Maletto and Cantica Symphonia reduced their ensemble to its vocal core and arranged themselves in front of the microphones in order to make what quite possibly will be the most personal disc of their careers. The result was a series of intimate sessions made across 2007 and 2008, all of them in the acoustic where they rehearse, perform and have recorded for many years, whose quincentenary is currently being commemorated. Maletto and his singers deliver an anthology of motets and laude inspired by the Virgin Mary, many of them hitherto little-known.To the Renaissance compositional voices of Mouton, Isaac, Willaert and Peñalosa are joined for this occasion two living composers, Carlo Galante and Yakov Gubanov, with works written especially for Cantica Symphonia. An excellent and original a capella disc, performed by one of today's most invigorating early music ensembles. |

| |  | Orlando Lasso in Munich
Münchner Dommusik & Ecco la Musica, Karl-Ludwig Nies (director) Orlando di Lasso's arrival at Munich Cathedral marked the start of a golden age of music.

Karl-Ludwig Nies, the Cathedral's present Kapellmeister presents a cross section of the Domkapelle's repertoire in and around Lasso's time, including works by his son Ferdinand. This recording was made in the historically authentic setting of Munich Cathedral where the vast echo gives the music a profound resonance. |

| |  | Die Spinne im Netz (The Spider in the Web)Music from Nuremberg Prints of the 16th Century.
Julian Podger (tenor) Ensemble Musicke & Mirth - Irene Klein (treble & alto viol), Silvia Tecardi (treble, alto & tenor viol), Jane Achtman (tenor & bass viol), Wim Maeseele (lute) At the beginning of the 16th century Nuremberg (“The spider in the web”) was a northern European centre in which many threads of international music life came together. Early on Nuremberg had established itself as a centre of book printing. The first printing-offices that occupied themselves seriously with the printing of music, however, were those of Hieronymus Formschneider and Johannes Petreius. Most of the pieces on this recording are taken from these collections of three-part music. They contain international repertoire, including old masterworks such as Caecox and Tandernaken by Alexander Agricola, but also arrangements of German folk songs and ballads, as well as French compositions and more recent Italian forms. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
