Cantica Symphonia, Giuseppe Maletto With this disc, Giuseppe Maletto and Cantica Symphonia
complete their 'Dufay trilogy' on Glossa: two volumes of motets
and one of chansons.
These singers and instrumentalists, many of them members of the
various permutations of La Venexiana, represent the best possible
interpreters for communicating this timeless and moving music:
motets indelibly linked to the power struggles that, in the first
half of the 15th century, convulsed the politics of European
powers and of the Roman Catholic Church.
Together with Quadrivium, this new release sees Cantica
Symphonia traversing all the currently attributed motets by Dufay:
works written to set the seal on historic occasions as well as
those with liturgical texts.The accompanying essay admirably
captures the pervasive 15th century currents of Humanism and
religious splendour. “Just how fine are the singers on this recording can be gauged from the last track… Cantica Symphonia's performance of his final setting of Ave regina celorum is extraordinarily moving, the personal supplication to Mary seeming almost to catch the composer's last breath.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| Pilgrimage to Santiago
The Monteverdi Choir, John Eliot Gardiner recorded: All Hallows, Gospel Oak, London - May 2005 Being a man for great
journeys of exploration,
John Eliot Gardiner took
his Monteverdi Choir on
a musical pilgrimage to
Santiago in 2004. The
concerts they gave along
the route have yielded
this superb album. All
the composers have a
connection with Spain,
so Morales and Mouton
are set alongside Dufay
and Victoria, marvellous
performances all. - Gramophone Magazine “Unaccompanied, the Monteverdi Choir goes back to its roots in a programme which harnesses scholarship and singing of breathtaking beauty.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008  BBC Music Magazine
