Missa Gaudeamus

"The Tallis Scholars still ride high among small vocal ensembles - lithe, pure-sounding and vigorous as ever in performance of Renaissance polyphony. Their latest disc of Josquin's Missa Guadeamus and Missa L'ami Baudichon (Gimmell) exceeds expectation. These two sharply contrasting works, one bristling with mathematical patterns, the other based on a vulgar popular song, comprise the seventh of nine albums in the Tallis Scholars' series of Josquin's 19 highly distinctive masses, to be completed by the composer's 500th anniversary in 2021".

"It's two years since the last instalment in the projected complete set of Josquin Masses from Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars. This latest release is the seventh in the series and I understand there will be two more before the mission is accomplished ... As ever, The Tallis Scholars sing all the music on this disc flawlessly. However, what we hear is far from calculated "mere" perfection.The singers, responding to Peter Phillips' direction, bring these Masses vividly to life ... Another memorable issue in The Tallis Scholars' Josquin series".

"The Tallis Scholars allow much light to filter through Josquin's complex textures and they clearly delight in his beautifully spacious three-part setting of 'Pleni sunt caeli et terra Gloria tua'. Their sound may have softened slightly with a new generation of singers but it suits Missa Gaudeamus particularly well. This disc is surely one of their best recent releases".
