August 27th marks the 500th anniversary of Josquin’s passing, an outstanding musical personality celebrated throughout the entire Western world for his immeasurable genius. If Josquin excelled in all genres, it is maybe in the free form of the motet that he gave the best of his art, for instance the beautiful Stabat Mater. This album by the Capella Antiqua München, newly digitized and remastered in high resolution, reveals all the splendor of these pages, among the most beautiful of sacred music’s history.
