Missa Christ ist erstanden : & other works

"Recommended: Until Cinquecento and Hyperion took up his cause, Regnart's music was almost a closed book ... Here they are in their contrafacta forms, providing variety in a programme devoted to his music in a higher style ... I doubt that Regnart could have better advocates than Cinquecento, or ever will. To return to my opening words, the claim that they are ideally suited to this music is fully borne out by the performances ... Lovers of the music of this period need not hesitate, especially those who have already chosen one or more of Cinqucento's earlier recordings".

"Recommended: Cinquecento adds two significant Mass settings to their discography with this excellent recording ... There is a fine mixture of religious and secular in the remaining tracks ... As with all of their recordings, Cinquecento - Renaissance Vokal sound fabulous in this music ... This release joins their recording of Regnart's Missa Super Oeniades Nymphae, and should be snapped up without delay".

"Editor's choice: I hold Cinquecento in especially high regard ... and this new album ... maintains thrie exquisitely high quality of both performance and programme ... Cinquecento are clearly in their comfort zone and immediately find a sweet spot for optimal polyphonic momentum that also allows the phrases room to expand. The balance is wonderfully clear ... and Cinquecento's rhythmic precision brings out many delightful movements".
