In this selection of settings by masters like Willaert and de Rore, among others, of the verse of Virgil, Horace and Catullus, Paul Van Nevel offers us, with the subtlety of perception and the rigorous but flexible attention to detail we have come to expect from him, another dazzling excursion into the rich and fascinating by ways of early Renaissance vocal music.

"Willaert's piece, in particular, is achingly beautiful: for this alone, it is worth buying this very fine disc." *** Stephen Pettitt, The Sunday Times, 13 January 2002

"Sung with such exquisite fluency, the Huelgas Ensemble under Van Nevel conveys the excitement of an epoch that yielded some of the most beautiful combinations of poetry and music." Tarik O'Regan, The Observer, 13 January 2002

"Sublime repertoire, lovely singing." Anna Picard, The Independent on Sunday, 27 January 2002
