Josquin's sublime, brief tribute to the memory of Ockeghem-Nymphes des bois-is the emotional core of a programme which explores Josquin's own influence on some of the great names of his time.
'The Gesualdo Six are well placed to record this music. They're very good at looking around the repertoire and working out what will fit with everything else … I love anthologies, and I love this particular one … that counter-tenor sound, it's out of this world. I should say that my favourite recording of this [Intemerata Dei mater] for many, many years has been the 1976 David Munrow recording and I think this actually outdoes it. I shouldn't say that because Munrow is absolutely my hero, but I think this is even nicer' (BBC Record Review)
