Review:
Another fine recording from The Brabant Ensemble
I like Obrecht’s
music very much. There is a sombre beauty in it throughout which I
find extremely satisfying and the Brabant Ensemble bring it out
wonderfully. They are an excellent choir and, for me anyway, this is
one of their finest discs. They are technically impeccable with a
lovely fluency of line, a fine engagement with the text and a balance
which suits the music perfectly. I find it spellbinding.
The recording is of
the excellent quality we expect from Hyperion, with a lovely acoustic
which allows the voices to resonate without obscuring the detail.
The notes and presentation are also excellent, making this a terrific
disc all round. Very warmly recommended.
