"Recommended: It's worth saying, that despite these questionable attributions, there is some wonderful music here. I've been a fan of the Brabant Ensemble for some time and can confidently say that this is one of their most outstanding recordings. That means, for me, clear diction, a bright uncomplicated sound, ideal balance, voices recorded with space around them and not at a social distance, and a focused, fresh tone. Tempi are also sensible and firm".

"The ensemble's sound is clean and ingenuous throughout: boyish sopranos and altos are balanced by fresh-voiced tenors and basses, intonation is nigh flawless, the recording limpid. Stephen Rice and his singers subtly capture the emotional and spiritual gamut of these works ... Rice's detailed liner notes, which include a summary of the scholarly debates surrounding the spurious works, wrap up this treasurable anniversary disc".

"The Brabant Ensemble's selection has the charm of rarity. One of it's most satisfying offerings is the parallel setting of the chants 'Alma redemptoris mater' and 'Ave regina caelorum', a tour de force that feels very Josquinian while carrying unmistakable echoes of Dufay and Ockeghem. The performances are clear and legible but a touch over-cautious; in the longer pieces, rival versions pull off faster tempos to better effect ... A qualified recommendation, then; but this rarely heard Josquin has much to tell us".
